EP Inhibitor

L-161982 is a selective EP4 receptor antagonist. L-161982 completely blocks PGE2-induced ERK phosphorylation and cell proliferation of HCA-7 cells. L-161982 alleviates collagen-induced arthritis in mice.

Pectolinarin possesses anti-inflammatory activity. Pectolinarin inhibits secretion of IL-6 and IL-8, as well as the production of PGE2 and NO. Pectolinarin suppresses cell proliferation and inflammatory response and induces apoptosis via inactivation of the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Ridogrel (R 68070) is an orally active combined thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor and thromboxane A2/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor blocker. Ridogrel is potent antiplatelet agent. Anti-inflammatory activities.

AZ12672857 is an orally active inhibitor of EphB4 (IC₅₀=1.3 nM) and Src kinases. AZ12672857 shows good inhibition of proliferation of c-Src transfected 3T3 cells (IC₅₀=2 nM) as well as autophosphorylation of EphB4 in transfected CHO-K1 cells (IC₅₀=9 nM).

Epibetulinic acid exhibits potent inhibitory effects on NO and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7) stimulated with bacterial endotoxin with IC₅₀s of 0.7 and 0.6 μM, respectively. Anti-inflammatory activity.

KW-8232, an orally active anti-osteoporotic agent, and can reduces the biosynthesis of PGE2.

Saikogenin D is isolated from?Bupleurum chinense, has anti-inflammatory effects. Saikogenin D activates epoxygenases that converts arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosanoids and dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids, and the metabolites secondarily inhibit prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. Saikogenin D results in an elevation of [Ca²⁺]i due to Ca²⁺ release from intracellular stores.

KW-8232 free base, an orally active anti-osteoporotic agent, and can reduces the biosynthesis of PGE2.

Treprostinil-¹³C₂,d is the ¹³C- and deuterium labeled Treprostinil. Treprostinil (UT-15) is a potent DP1 and EP2 agonist with EC50 values of 0.6±0.1 and 6.2±1.2 nM, respectively.

BPN-37440 is a blood-brain barrier-permeable, selective, and orally active EP2 receptor inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 53-60 nM. BPN-37440 inhibits the expression of inflammatory mediators IL-1β and COX-2, with an IC₅₀ of 21 nM for IL-1β and 42 nM for COX-2. BPN-37440 reduces microgliosis in key brain regions of mice with pilocarpine (HY-B0726A)-induced status epilepticus and reverses their working memory and recognition memory deficits. BPN-37440 can be used for research on status epilepticus.
