NO Synthase Agonist

S-Nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) is a nitric oxide donor and acts as a stable inhibitor of platelet aggregation.

6-Thioinosine (6TI) is a purine antimetabolite and an anti-adipogenic agent. 6-Thioinosine reduces the mRNA levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα and downregulates the mRNA levels of PPARγ target genes (LPL, CD36, aP2, and LXRα). 6-Thioinosine exerts its anti-adipogenic effects by downregulating PPARγ through JNK-dependent iNOS upregulation. 6-Thioinosine can be used to study adipocyte dysfunction.

Momordicine I is a cucurbitane-type triterpenoids. Momordicine I suppresses glioma growth by promoting apoptosis and impairing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Momordicine I inhibits glycolysis, lipid metabolism, induces autophagy in HNC cells to suppress head and neck cancer growth. Momordicine I alleviates isoproterenol-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy through suppression of PLA2G6 and DGK-ζ. Momordicine I exerts its cardiovascular benefits by upregulating nitric oxide, inhibiting the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), activating the PI3K/Akt pathway, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Momordicine I inhibits AKT1, IL-6, and SRC, suggesting its potential application in type 2 diabetes.

(R)-α7 nAchR-JAK2-STAT3 agonist 1 is the R-enantiomer of α7 nAchR-JAK2-STAT3 agonist 1 (HY-146066). α7 nAchR-JAK2-STAT3 agonist 1 is a potent α7 nAchR-JAK2-STAT3 agonist, with an IC₅₀ value of 0.32 μM for nitric oxide (NO). α7 nAchR-JAK2-STAT3 agonist 1 effectively suppresses the expression of iNOS, IL-1β, and IL-6 in murine RAW264.7 macrophages. α7 nAchR-JAK2-STAT3 agonist 1 can inhibit LPS-induced NO release, NF-κB activation and cytokine production. α7 nAchR-JAK2-STAT3 can be used for researching sepsis.

FGT-4 is a folate receptor β (FR-β) targeting chimeric molecule. FGT-4 is a TLR7 agonist. FGT-4 facilitates the secretion of iNOS and proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 associated with M1 macrophages and enhances the proliferation of cytotoxic CD8⁺ T cells. FGT-4 has anti-tumor activity in the 4T1 breast cancer mouse model. FGT-4 can be used for the study of cancer immunity.
