Antituberculosis agent-9 (Compound 5a), an orally administered compound, demonstrates potent antitubercular activity, exhibiting a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.5 μg/mL against H37Ra [1].

CL 82198 hydrochloride is a selective inhibitor of MMP-13 (89% inhibition at 10μg/mL) that displays no activity at MMP-1, MMP-9 or TACE. Inhibitsin vitroinvasion by the human pituitary adenoma cell line HP75. Rescues paclitaxel induced axon degradation and reduces associated neurotoxicity in zebrafish.

5-Hydroxytoluene-2,4-disulphonic acid diammonium, an impurity of Policresulen, is a significant NS2B/NS3 protease inhibitor, exhibiting an IC50 value of 0.48 μg/mL. It inhibits DENV2 virus replication in BHK-21 cells effectively, with an IC50 of 4.99 μg/mL. Policresulen functions as a competitive inhibitor, marginally impacting the protease's stability[1].

β-Defensin-1 is a peptide with antimicrobial properties that protects the skin and mucosal membranes of the respiratory, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts.1It inhibits the growth ofB. adolescentis,L. acidophilus,B. breve,B. vulgatus,L. fermentum,B. longum, andS. thermophilusin an antimicrobial radial diffusion assay.2β-Defensin-1 also inhibits the growth of periodontopathogenic and cariogenic bacteria, includingP. gingivalisandS. salivarius, and of susceptibleM. tuberculosisH37Rv but not of resistantM. tuberculosisRM22 when used at a concentration of 128 μg/ml.3,4It blocks human and mouse Kv1.3 voltage-gated potassium channels (IC50s = 11.8 and 13.2 μM, respectively).5Overexpression of β-defensin-1 in the human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines HSC-3, UM-1, and SCC-9 increases migration and invasion but not proliferation.6 1.Lehrer, R.I.Primate defensinsNat.

Antimicrobial Agent-9 (Compound 16) exhibits antimicrobial properties with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range of 4-8 μg/mL against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and also demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity [1].

9-Methoxycanthin-6-one has anti-tumour activity, exhibits cytotoxic activity towards KB, LU-1, LNCaP, HL-60 cancer cells and other human cancer cell lines with IC50 values around 1-4 μg/mL.
