AIM2 Inhibitor

Shikonin is a major component of a Chinese herbal medicine named zicao. Shikonin is a potent TMEM16A chloride channel inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 6.5 μM. Shikonin is a specific pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) inhibitor and can also inhibit TNF-α and NF-κB pathway. Shikonin decreases exosome secretion through the inhibition of glycolysis. Shikonin inhibits AIM2 inflammasome activation.

ANA-12 is a brain-penetrant, selective TrkB antagonist with IC₅₀ values of 45.6 nM and 41.1 μM, and K_d values of 10 nM and 12 μM, for high- and low-affinity sites, respectively. ANA-12 specifically inhibits BDNF-induced TrkB receptor activation and its downstream signaling cascades by directly and non-competitively binding to the TrkB receptor, without affecting the functions of TrkA and TrkC. ANA-12 is used in research concerning neuropsychiatric disorders (such as depression and anxiety), acute and chronic pain, neuroimmune inflammation, and the mechanisms of learning and memory.

NLRP3/AIM2-IN-3 (compound 59) is a potent inhibitor with differential species specific effects against NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis. NLRP3/AIM2-IN-3 shows inhibitory efficacy against pyroptosis in THP-1 macrophages stimulated with LPS/nigericin, with an IC₅₀ of 0.077 ± 0.008 μM. NLRP3/AIM2-IN-3 disturbs the interaction of NLRP3 or AIM2 with the adaptor protein ASC and inhibited ASC oligomerization.

JC2-11 is an inhibitor of inflammatory corpuscles. JC2-11 inhibits domain-containing protein NLRC 4, absent in melanoma 2 (AIM 2) and non-canonical (NC) inflammatory corpuscles. JC2-11 reduces the secretion of caspase-1 (p20), the cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD), and the releases of IL-1β and lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) in inflammatory bodies. JC2-11 inhibits the activation of inflammatory bodies by destroying the production of reactive oxygen species and the activity of caspase-1.

Shikonin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Shikonin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Shikonin is a major component of a Chinese herbal medicine named zicao. Shikonin is a potent TMEM16A chloride channel inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 6.5 μM. Shikonin is a specific pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) inhibitor and can also inhibit TNF-α and NF-κB pathway. Shikonin decreases exosome secretion through the inhibition of glycolysis. Shikonin inhibits AIM2 inflammasome activation.

Fructose-arginine, an amino-sugar, is an AIM2 inflammasome activation inhibitor. Fructose-arginine attenuates the secretion of IL-1β, IL-18, and caspase-1, and Asc pyroptosome formation and Gsdmd cleavage resulting from AIM2 inflammasome activation.

NLRP3/AIM2-IN-1 is an NLRP3/AIM2 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 3.136 μM against NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis. NLRP3/AIM2-IN-1 inhibits IL-1β secretion triggered by NLRP3 inflammasome activation. NLRP3/AIM2-IN-1 exhibits moderate anti-pyroptotic activity. NLRP3/AIM2-IN-1 does not inhibit NLRC4 inflammasome activation. NLRP3/AIM2-IN-1 can be used for studying inflammasome-mediated inflammatory diseases.

ANA-12 (Standard) is an analytical standard of ANA-12 (HY-12479). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. ANA-12 is a brain-penetrant, selective TrkB antagonist with IC₅₀ values of 45.6 nM and 41.1 μM, and K_d values of 10 nM and 12 μM, for high- and low-affinity sites, respectively. ANA-12 specifically inhibits BDNF-induced TrkB receptor activation and its downstream signaling cascades by directly and non-competitively binding to the TrkB receptor, without affecting the functions of TrkA and TrkC. ANA-12 is used in research concerning neuropsychiatric disorders (such as depression and anxiety), acute and chronic pain, neuroimmune inflammation, and the mechanisms of learning and memory.
