Maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration 2 (MCTR2) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid in macrophages at the site of inflammation. DHA is oxidized to maresin 1 , which is converted to MCTR1 by glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 or leukotriene C4 synthase then to MCTR2 by γ-glutamyl transferase. MCTR2 accelerates tissue regeneration in planaria (1 and 100 nM). Pretreatment with MCTR2 prior to E. coli administration reduces neutrophil infiltration, shortens the inflammatory resolution period, and increases phagocytosis of E. coli by macrophages. When administered at a dose of 100 ng 12h post E. coli infection in a mouse model of peritonitis, MCTR2 selectively reduced the amount of the eicosanoids PGD2 and PGF2α in the exudate.

Benpyrine is a highly specific and orally active TNF-α inhibitor with a KD value of 82.1 μM. Benpyrine tightly binds to TNF-α and blocks its interaction with TNFR1, with an IC50 value of 0.109 μM. Benpyrine has the potential for TNF-α mediated inflammatory and autoimmune disease research[1]. Benpyrine (5-20 μM; 14 hours; RAW264.7 cells) pretreatment results in a dose-dependent decrease in the phosphorylation of IκBα in RAW264.7 cells (stimulated with 10 ng/mL TNF-α or 1 μg/mL LPS). Benpyrine abolishes the TNF-α-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB/p65 in RAW264.7 cells[1].Benpyrine only blocks cell death induced by TNF-αWT and Y119A, and increases the cell survival rate up to 80%. Benpyrine does not obviously affect L57A- and Y59L-induced cytotoxicity in L929 cells[1]. Benpyrine (25-50 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; for 2 weeks; Balb/c mice) treatment significantly relieves the symptoms of collagen-induced arthritis. Benpyrine dose-dependently decreases the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-γ, IL-1β and IL-6, and increases the concentration of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10[1].Endotoxemia murine model shows that Benpyrine (25 mg/kg) could attenuate TNF-α-induced inflammation, thereby reducing liver and lung injury[1].

Tetranactin (0.5-1.5 μg per insect) dose-dependently increases the mortality of adult C. chinensis weevils up to 100% and has mitogenic activity against T. telarius when sprayed onto plants with an LC50 value of 9.2 μg/ml. It reduces IL-1β- and cAMP-induced secretion of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) from rat mesangial cells (IC50s = 43 and 33 nM, respectively). Tetranactin (50 ng/ml) suppresses the proliferation of human T lymphocytes induced by allogeneic cells and IL-2 and supresses the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in mixed lymphocyte cultures. In vivo, tetranactin (10 mg/animal per day) completely inhibits the formation of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in rats.

NG 52 (NG-52) is a cell-permeable, reversible, and ATP-compatible inhibitor of the cell cycle-regulating kinase Cdc28p and the related Pho85p kinase.

KBC-007 is a synthetic branched chain-containing analog of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer). It induces IL-4 and IFN-γ secretion by mouse splenocytes when used at a concentration of 0.5 ng/ml and IL-2 secretion by DN32.D3 NKT hybridoma cells co-cultured with CD1d-transfected RBL cells pre-loaded with KBC-007 at a concentration of 8 ng/ml. KBC-007 (1 μg per animal) increases levels of IL-4, but not IFN-γ, to a similar degree as α-GalCer in mouse serum. KBC-007 (0.5 μg per animal) increases the survival rate of mice immunized with the inactivated influenza A virus A/PR/8/34 in a model of influenza infection.

Resolvin E2 (RvE2) is a member of the specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) family of bioactive lipids.1It is produced from eicosapentaenoic acidviaan 18-HEPE intermediate, which is formed by aspirin-acetylated COX-2-mediated oxidation of EPA, by 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in human polymorphonuclear (PMN) neutrophils.2,3RvE2 (20 ng/animal) inhibits increases in inflammatory exudate neutrophil infiltration in a mouse model of peritonitis induced by zymosan A .3Hepatic RvE2 levels are increased in mice fed normal chow, as well as in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), by dietary supplementation with EPA.4Plasma levels of RvE2 are increased by dietary supplementation with fish oil containing ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in patients with peripheral artery disease or chronic kidney disease.1,5,6 1.Chiang, N., and Serhan, C.N.Specialized pro-resolving mediator network: An update on production and actionsEssays Biochem.64(3)443-462(2020) 2.Tjonahen, E., Oh, S.F., Siegelman, J., et al.Resolvin E2: Identification and anti-inflammatory actions: Pivotal role of human 5-lipoxygenase in resolvin E series biosynthesisChemistry & Biology131193-1202(2006) 3.Sungwhan, F.O., Pillai, P.S., Recchiuti, A., et al.Pro-resolving actions and stereoselective biosynthesis of 18S E-series resolvins in human leukocytes and murine inflammationJ.

FSL-1 TFA, a toll-like receptor 2/6 (TLR2/6) agonist derived from bacteria, bolsters resistance against experimental HSV-2 infection[1] and stimulates MMP-9 production via the TLR2 and NF-κB/AP-1 signaling pathways in monocytic THP-1 cells[2].

Bivalirudin TFA, a synthetic 20-residue peptide, serves as a reversible inhibitor of thrombin. Its IC50 value highlights its target specificity in vitro, where, combined with Eptifibatide (8 mg/mL) at a low concentration (70 ng/mL), it significantly reduces platelet aggregation induced by thrombin (0.2 U/mL) by approximately 90% [1]. The compound demonstrates no effect on thrombin generation assay (TGA) parameters up to 10 μmol/L [2]. Additionally, it facilitates the binding of MPO to BAEC, leading to functional alterations such as increased NO consumption and enhanced MPO-mediated redox modifications [3]. In vivo studies reveal its efficacy in preventing the rise of antiheparin/PF4 antibody IgG levels in rats, with significant findings from the toxicokinetic assessment signaling its safety profile at tested doses, although higher doses resulted in fatalities [4][5]. In clinical trials, its antithrombotic effects were explored, comparing it with alternatives like Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in a Phase 4 study.

PC190723 (Compound 2), an inhibitor of the FtsZ bacterial cell division protein, demonstrates potent efficacy with an IC50 value of 55 ng/ml. Additionally, it showcases notable anti-staphylococcal activity, characterized by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values of 1 μg/ml against both Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [1].

17(R)-Resolvin D3 (17(R)-RvD3) is an aspirin-triggered epimer of resolvin D3, produced from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) through the action of COX-2 in the presence of aspirin, via a 17(R)-hydroperoxy DHA (17(R)-HDHA) intermediary. Identified in mouse inflammatory exudates, 17(R)-RvD3 notably inhibits the transmigration of isolated human polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) and fosters the efferocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by macrophages. Furthermore, in a mouse model of zymosan-induced peritonitis, 17(R)-RvD3 administration (10 ng/animal) significantly curtails neutrophil infiltration into the peritoneal cavity and modulates cytokine levels by reducing IL-6 and increasing IL-10 in the inflammatory exudate. It engages GPR32, evidenced by activation in a β-arrestin reporter assay and augments phagocytosis more effectively in CHO cells overexpressing GPR32 compared to controls. Additionally, 17(R)-RvD3 enhances the clearance of etoposide-induced tumor cell debris by monocyte-derived macrophages in H460 human lung carcinoma.

Tigecycline-d9 is a deuterated compound of Tigecycline. Tigecycline has a CAS number of 220620-09-7. Tigecycline is a broad-spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic derived from tetracycline. Tigecycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby interfering with the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex.
