CaMK Activator

Junicedric acid is a diterpenoid compound that can be isolated from the resin of the Araucaria araucana tree. Junicedric acid exerts neuroprotective activity by increasing intracellular calcium levels in hippocampal neurons, activating PKC and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII), and preventing Amyloid-β oligomer-induced synaptic protein loss, apoptosis, and long-term potentiation (LTP) inhibition. Junicedric acid can be used in the study of the pathological mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

MRS2768 is a potent, selective, and metabolically stable P2Y₂ receptor agonist with an EC₅₀ of 1.89 μM for the human P2Y₂ receptor. MRS2768 activates Gq/PLC/PKC signaling, leading to downstream phosphorylation of Akt, eNOS, and ERK, with effects varying by cell type. MRS2768 inhibits ENaC via Gq/PKC/Src/Akt to promote natriuresis and lower blood pressure in the kidney. MRS2768 activates eNOS to increase NO secretion in endothelial cells. MRS2768 drives proliferation via PI3K/Akt in fibroblasts and cancer cells. MRS2768 exerts anti-apoptotic effects through PKC/Src/Akt in cardiomyocytes. MRS2768 can be applied to investigate P2Y₂-dependent pathological processes, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and renal fibrosis, DOCA-salt induced hypertension, myocardial infarction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pancreatic cancer, cardiac fibrosis, dry eye disease, as well as shear stress-mediated vascular remodeling and atherosclerosis.

AR420626 is a selective agonist of free fatty acid receptor 3 (FFAR3) (IC₅₀=117 nM). AR420626 has anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antidiabetic activities. AR420626 improves neurogenic diarrhea by inhibiting nAChR mediated neural pathways. AR420626 inhibits the growth of HepG2 xenografts and inhibits the proliferation of hepatoma cells by inducing apoptosis. AR420626 also suppresses allergic asthma and eczema and has the ability to activate GPR41 to increase Ca²⁺ signal-mediated glucose uptake and improve diabetes.

DCP-LA (FR236924), a linoleic acid derivative, selectively and directly activates PKCε. DCP-LA activates Ca(²⁺)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and inhibits protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) to stimulate AMPA receptor exocytosis. DCP-LA inhibits activation of caspase-3/-9 and protects neurons at least in part from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.

Gomisin J is a Schisandra chinensis-derived lignan that can inhibit multiple targets such as eNOS, AMPK (LKB1, CaMKIIβ), fetuin-A, NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1, and can pass through the blood-brain barrier. Gomisin J increases NO bioavailability by activating eNOS, regulates lipid metabolism by activating the AMPK pathway, inhibits fetuin-A and NF-κB to exert anti-inflammatory effects, and activates Nrf2/HO-1 to enhance antioxidant capacity. Gomisin J has the activities of anti-hypertension, regulating liver lipid metabolism, and reducing cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, and can be used for research on hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, etc.

MCB-22-174 is a deuterated Piezo1 agonist, with an EC₅₀ value of 6.28 μM. MCB-22-174 remarkably activates the CaMKII/ERK signaling pathway and initiates Ca²⁺ influx in rMSCs. MCB-22-174 significantly decreases the expression of chondrogenesis markers (Comp, Acan) and adipogenesis markers (Lpl, Fabp4) in MSCs. MCB-22-174 can effectively improve bone quality in hind-limb unloading (HU) model rats. MCB-22-174 can be used for the study of disuse osteoporosis (OP).

MRS2768 tetrasodium salt is a potent, selective, and metabolically stable P2Y₂ receptor agonist with an EC₅₀ of 1.89 μM for the human P2Y₂ receptor. MRS2768 tetrasodium salt activates Gq/PLC/PKC signaling, leading to downstream phosphorylation of Akt, eNOS, and ERK, with effects varying by cell type. MRS2768 tetrasodium salt inhibits ENaC via Gq/PKC/Src/Akt to promote natriuresis and lower blood pressure in the kidney. MRS2768 tetrasodium salt activates eNOS to increase NO secretion in endothelial cells. MRS2768 tetrasodium salt drives proliferation via PI3K/Akt in fibroblasts and cancer cells. MRS2768 tetrasodium salt exerts anti-apoptotic effects through PKC/Src/Akt in cardiomyocytes. MRS2768 tetrasodium salt can be applied to investigate P2Y₂-dependent pathological processes, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and renal fibrosis, DOCA-salt induced hypertension, myocardial infarction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pancreatic cancer, cardiac fibrosis, dry eye disease, as well as shear stress-mediated vascular remodeling and atherosclerosis.

DCP-LA (Standard) is the analytical standard of DCP-LA. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. DCP-LA (FR236924), a linoleic acid derivative, selectively and directly activates PKCε. DCP-LA activates Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and inhibits protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) to stimulate AMPA receptor exocytosis. DCP-LA inhibits activation of caspase-3/-9 and protects neurons at least in part from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis[1][2][3].

TI-16 is a peptide that targets β-amyloid (Aβ) protein. TI-16 can cross the blood-brain barrier. TI-16 can increase the concentration of intracellular free CaM, thereby restoring calcium ion homeostasis and reducing Aβ toxicity. TI-16 can reduce the deposition of Aβ in the brain, improve neuronal pathology, inhibit cell apoptosis, and improve cognitive function in mice. TI-16 is commonly used in the study of Alzheimer's disease.

FO-4-15 is an mGluR1/CaMKIIα activator. FO-4-15 has a protective effect against H₂O₂ in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells. FO-4-15 can improve cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease mice by activating the mGluR1/CaMKIIα pathway, and can reduce Aβ accumulation, hyperphosphorylated Tau, and synaptic damage.
