k 115

Ripasudil free base (K-115 (free base)) is a selective and potent ROCK inhibitor, is a novel and potent antiglaucoma agent.

TGX-115 is a cell-permeable and potent inhibitor of the PI 3-K isoform p110β/p110δ (IC50 values of 0.13 μM for p110β and 0.63 μM for p110δ), an enzyme that regulates platelet adhesion and inhibits phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase, and can be used to treat coronary artery occlusion, stroke, acute coronary artery It can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as coronary occlusion, stroke, acute coronary syndrome, acute myocardial infarction, restenosis, atherosclerosis and unstable angina.

MG-115 (Z-LL-Nva-CHO) is a potent and reversible inhibitor of proteasome , with K i s of 21 nM and 35 nM for 20S and 26S proteasome, respectively. MG-115 specifically inhibit the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome, induces p53-dependent apoptosis [1] [2] [3].

Aspergillimide is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from A. japonicus.1 It reduces nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) peak and slowly-desensitizing amplitudes induced by acetylcholine in silkworm (B. mori) larval neurons (IC50s = 20.2 and 39.6 nM, respectively) but has no effect on chicken α3β4-, α4β2-, and α7-containing nAChRs.2 Dietary administration of aspergillimide A (10 μg/g of diet) induces paralysis in silkworm fourth instar larvae.1 Aspergillimide A (10 and 20 mg/kg) reduces T. colubriformis fecal egg count in gerbils.3References1.

K-TMZ is a DNA alkylating agent. It increases the concentration of O6-methylated deoxyguanosine in U87 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells in a concentration-dependent manner. K-TMZ reduces cell viability of GBM cell lines lacking (IC50s = 18-44 μM) or expressing O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT; IC50s = 115-240 μM). K-TMZ can cross the blood-brain barrier and increases survival in a Br23c mouse xenograft model of GBM when administered at a dose of 14.9 mg/kg.
