6:2 Fluorotelomer alcohol (6:2 FTOH) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable modulator of cyclin D1 and ETS1. 6:2 Fluorotelomer alcohol downregulates cyclin D1 expression, upregulates ETS1 via the TNF-α/ERK 1/2 pathway, impairs mitochondrial membrane potential and respiratory function, increases reactive oxygen species levels, disrupts calcium homeostasis and activates endoplasmic reticulum stress markers, and induces cell proliferation inhibition and endothelial-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, 6:2 Fluorotelomer alcohol induces morphological abnormalities in zebrafish embryos and liver developmental damage, while disrupting the brain immune microenvironment in mice, causing systemic toxicity and delayed pup maturation in CD-1 mice. 6:2 Fluorotelomer alcohol also induces cortical neuron apoptosis, glial cell activation, synaptic abnormalities, colonic barrier damage, intestinal dysbiosis and autism spectrum disorder-like symptoms in mice. 6:2 Fluorotelomer alcohol shows no mutagenic, clastogenic, primary skin/eye irritation or skin sensitizing effects, exhibits no selective reproductive toxicity in CD-1 mice, and is classified as GHS Category 4 for acute oral toxicity. 6:2 Fluorotelomer alcohol can be used in studies of neurodevelopmental disorders and autism spectrum disorders .

VU6001966 is a brain-penetrant and selective mGlu2 receptor inhibitor. VU6001966 blocks mGlu2 receptor activity, counteracts LY379268 (HY-103558)-mediated blood-brain barrier protection and inflammatory cytokine dampening in microglia under inflammatory conditions. VU6001966 enhances antidepressant effects when combined with Scopolamine (HY-N0296). VU6001966 can be used for the research of major depressive disorder .

STING antagonist-3 is a potent STING antagonist with an IC₅₀ of 2.3 nM against human wild-type STING. STING antagonist-3 inhibits human wild-type STING and the gain-of-function STING mutants N154S and V155M. STING antagonist-3 suppresses IFN‑α2a production in stimulated human whole blood. STING antagonist-3 inhibits IP-10 production in activated human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-d). STING antagonist-3 can be used for the research of autoimmune diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, interferonopathies, and fibrotic disorders .
