Lipocalin Family Inhibitor

ZINC00784494 is a specific Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) inhibitor. ZINC00784494 inhibits cell proliferation, cell viability and reduces AKT phosphorylation levels in SUM149 cells. ZINC00784494 has good potential for research in inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).

RBP4 inhibitor 1 (compound 43b) is a potent and orally active retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) inhibitor with IC₅₀s of 28 nM and 110 nM for human and mouse RBP4. RBP4 inhibitor 1 has a potent and long-lasting blood RBP4-level-reducing effect in mice.

BPN-14136 is an orally effective retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) inhibitor. BPN-14136 inhibits the binding of retinol to RBP4 with an IC₅₀ of 12.8 nM. BPN-14136 inhibits retinol-dependent RBP4-transthyretin interaction (IC₅₀ = 43.6 nM) and reduces circulating plasma RBP4 levels in vivo. BPN-14136 decreases the formation of cytotoxic bisretinoids in retinal pigment epithelial cells. BPN-14136 can be used for the research of atrophic age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt disease.

ZINC00230567 is an inhibitor for Lipocalin-2 (LCN2). ZINC00230567 reduces the colony formation and cell viability of cell SUM149, and exhibits anti-tumor efficacy.

RBP4-IN-2 (Compound 14) is a RBP4 inhibitor. RBP4-IN-2 can reduce RBP4 in mouse plasma by more than 50%. RBP4-IN-2 can be used to study diseases where excessive lipofuscin accumulates in the retina.

RBP4 ligand-1 is a non-retinoid ligands for (RBP4) retinol-binding protein 4. The hRBP4_SPA IC₅₀ and RBP4-TTR FRET IC₅₀ values are 0.23±0.11 and 0.13±0.12 μM in the radioligand binding assay and FRET assay, respectively.

RBP4-IN-3 (Compound 38) is a retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) inhibitor. RBP4-IN-3 can be used in studies related to cardiovascular diseases and obesity.
