PI3K Inducer

C-8 Ceramide-1-phosphate is a cell apoptosis inhibitor and a cell survival inducer that can stimulate DNA synthesis and cell division. C-8 Ceramide-1-phosphate can inhibit acidic sphingomyelinase (SMase) and stimulate PI3-K, which in turn produces PIP3; PIP3 can also inhibit acidic SMase. The C-8 Ceramide-1-phosphate and ceramide can be interconverted in cells through kinase and phosphatase activity, and maintaining the balance between the two is crucial for cellular and tissue homeostasis.

BPH-628 is an aromatic geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGPPS) inhibitor, with a pIC₅₀ of 6.1.

ALR2-IN-9 is a potent ALR2 inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 21.8 nM) with excellent antioxidant activity (EC₅₀ for DPPH radical scavenging = 2.8 μM). ALR2-IN-9 interacts directly with Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)/Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) and interrupts the free radical chain reactions, and as an endogenous enzymatic antioxidant regulator, which regulates enzyme functions of CAT and SOD. ALR2-IN-9 regulates PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway to attenuate hyperglycemia-mediated mitochondrial superoxide overproduction in vitro, and ameliorates CuSO₄- and H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress in vivo. ALR2-IN-9 prolongs lifespan of C. elegans via the regulation of stress response genes such as PMK-1. ALR2-IN-9 is a promising anti-aging drug candidate. ALR2-IN-9 can be used for diabetic complication research.
