Autophagy

Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic mechanism. In certain stressful situations, lysosomes degrade degenerated, damaged, aged or non-functional cells, organelles and biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids to achieve cellular protection and organelles from cell damage. Autophagy is achieved by forming a bilayer membrane structure in the cytoplasm that wraps the material to be removed and transports it to the lysosome for degradation. In multicellular organisms, newly formed autophagic vesicles form autophagic endosomes by fusing with vesicles in different stages of the endocytic lysosomal pathway, such as early endosomes and late endosomes, before fusing with lysosomes, a process known as autophagic vesicle maturation. Abnormalities in autophagosome maturation, which is precisely regulated by cellular trophic state and stress signaling pathways, lead to the accumulation of large amounts of damaged organelles and toxic protein aggregates in cells.

BP12700 yangonin
Yangonin is a novel CB receptor ligand, it exhibits affinity for the human recombinant CB receptor. Yangonin could be a valuable candidate for the intervention of NF-κB-dependent pathological conditions such as inflammation.
BP12701 BI-D1870
BI-D1870 is a cell-permeable, ATP-competitive inhibitor of ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs; IC50s: 31/24/18/15 nM for RSK1/2/3/4).
BP12702 Meglutol
Meglutol is an antilipemic agent which lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, serum beta-lipoproteins and phospholipids. It acts by interfering with the enzymatic steps involved in the conversion of acetate to hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A as well as inhibiting the activity of HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
BP12703 6-Mercaptopurine
Mercaptopurine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent with immunosuppressant properties. It interferes with nucleic acid synthesis by inhibiting purine metabolism and is used, usually in combination with other drugs, in the treatment of or in remission maintenance programs for leukemia.
BP12704 Reserpine
Reserpine is an alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.

Acetylsalicylic acid is a histone deacetylase inhibitors to up-regulate cell cycle arrest protein p21, which can suppresses ovarian Y cells harboring COX-1. Acetylsalicylic acid also inhibits the expression of COX-2 in HUVEC and neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, and then reduce PG production and the down-regulation of ERK and NF-KB, respectively.

BP12710 Amsacrine
Amsacrine (mAMSA) an antineoplastic agent which can intercalate into the DNA of tumor cells. Amsacrine also expresses topoisomerase inhibitor activity, specifically inhibiting topoisomerase II.
BP12711 Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine can stimulate apoptosis in adult rat ventricular myocytes by activation of the β-adrenergic pathway. It can up-regulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumour cells.
BP12712 3-Methyladenine
3-Methyladenine (3-MA) is a selective PI3KV inhibitor, and the IC50s against ps34 and PI3Kγ were 25/60 μM in HeLa cells, respectively.
BP12713 Fludrocortisone acetate
Fludrocortisone, a glucocorticoid-receptor agonist, binds to cytoplasmic receptors, translocates to the nucleus, and subsequently initiates the transcription of glucocorticoid-responsive genes such as lipocortins to inhibit phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Fludrocortisone Acetate is the acetate salt of a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and antiallergic activities. Inhibition of PLA2 activity prevents the release of arachidonic acid, a precursor of eicosanoids such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes; eicosanoids are important mediators in the pro-inflammatory response mechanism. As a mineralocorticoid-receptor agonist, this agent stimulates Na+ reabsorption and water retention and K+ and H+ secretion in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney.
BP12714 Tarenflurbil
Tarenflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen) is the R-enantiomer of the racemate NSAID Flurbiprofen, Tarenflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen) inhibits the binding of [3H]9-cis-RA to RXRα LBD with IC50 of 75 μM. Tarenflurbil can be used for Alzheimer's disease research.
BP12715 Mefloquine hydrochloride
Mefloquine is a quinoline derivative used for the prevention and therapy of P. falciparum malaria.
