Noberastine citrate, a histamine H1 antagonist, has potent and specific peripheral antihistaminic activity. Noberastine, a furan derivative of nor-astemizole (an astemizole metabolite), has been shown to have a more rapid onset, and shorter duration of action than astemizole with peak antihistaminic activity at 4h following ingestion. Noberastine is rapidly absorbed and the peak plasma levels are obtained within 2 h of oral dosing. In preclinical studies Noberastine has been shown to lack central nervous system effects. After subacute (steady-state) administration of noberastine, there was increasing inhibition of weal and flare formation with higher doses of the drug. The 30 mg daily dose showed maximum antihistaminic effects.

1(R)-(Trifluoromethyl)oleyl alcohol is an analog of oleic acid .1It inhibits ferroptosis induced by erastin in primary fibroblasts isolated from patients with Friedreich ataxia, a neuro- and cardiodegenerative disorder characterized by loss or impaired activity of frataxin (FXN), when used at concentrations of 5, 10, or 20 μM. 1(R)-(Trifluoromethyl)oleyl alcohol (5 μM) reduces lipid peroxidation induced byFXNsiRNA knockdown in NBT human myoblasts. 1.Cotticelli, M.G., Forestieri, R., Xia, S., et al.Identification of a novel oleic acid analog with protective effects in multiple cellular models of Friedreich ataxiaACS Chem.

Pantothenate Kinase Inhibitor (PANKi) is a reversible inhibitor of pantothenate kinase (PanK; IC50s = 70, 92, and 25 nM for PanK1β, PanK2, and PanK3, respectively), the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of coenzyme A .1It binds to the ATP-PanK3 complex with an apparent binding constant of 300 nM and exhibits mixed-type inhibition with respect to ATP and pantothenate. PANKi inhibits CoA biosynthesis in C3A cells (IC50= 0.9 μM) with no effect on cell viability when used at concentrations up to 8 μM. PANKi (5 μM) synergizes with BSO to induce ferroptosis in PANC-1 cells and sensitizes the cells to imidazole ketone erastin-induced ferroptosis.2 1.Sharma, L.K., Leonardi, R., Lin, W., et al.A high-throughput screen reveals new small-molecule activators and inhibitors of pantothenate kinasesJ.

PRLX-93936 is an analog of erastin that has antitumor activity. It inhibits the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway under hypoxic conditions (IC50 = 0.09 μM in a cell-based reporter assay). PRLX-93936 (1 μM) also inhibits hypoxia-induced increases in HIF-1α expression in ME-180 cervical cancer cells. It inhibits the growth of HT-1080 fibrosarcoma, OVCAR-5 ovarian cancer, BJELR tumorigenic primary fibroblast, and PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells with IC50 values of less than 100 nM. PRLX-93936 inhibits tumor growth in PANC-1 and HT-1080 xenograft models when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg and induces tumor regression when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg.
