GABA Receptor Control

mNLS-CPP-scramble (TFA) is the trifluoroacetate salt of mNLS-CPP-scramble (HY-P11208A). mNLS-CPP-scramble is a negative control peptide of mNLS-CPP-WSTF. mNLS-CPP-scramble is promising for research of chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., MASH, osteoarthritis).

(S)-Laudanosine is an alkaloid that can be found in poppies and is the S-enantiomer of Laudanosine. Laudanosine acts on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, inhibiting low-affinity GABA receptors with an IC₅₀ value of 10 μM, and can cause seizures, hypotension, and bradycardia. Additionally, Laudanosine exerts analgesic effects by competitively binding to the opioid Mu-1 receptor (K_i = 2.7 μM).

TTFB (N-(4-tert-butyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-3-fluorobenzamide) is a selective, non-competitive zinc-activated channel (ZAC) antagonist. TTFB inhibits Zn²⁺- and H⁺-induced ZAC currents with IC₅₀ values of 3 μM and 8.5 μM, respectively, and has an IC₅₀ of 4.7 μM against spontaneous activity. TTFB shows no significant agonistic, antagonistic or modulatory activity towards representative classical Cys-loop receptors including m5-HT3AR, hα3β4 nAChR, hα1β2γ2S GABAAR and hα1 GlyR. TTFB can be used to investigate the physiological and pathological functions of ZAC.
