GW406381 is a highly selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). GW406381 also attenuates spontaneous ectopic discharge in the sural nerves of rats following chronic constriction injury.
PACAP-related peptide (PRP) is an endogenous 29-amino acid peptide that belongs to the secretin/glucagon superfamily of peptides, which includes secretin , glucagon , glucagon-like peptide-1 , GLP-2 , and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide . It is expressed in rat hypothalamus as well as within the nerves of the median eminence, the anterior pituitary, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and amygdala. PRP is also expressed in vaginal, uterine cervical, uterine horn, fallopian tube, and ovarian tissues from the rat female genital tract and is present in extracts of male testis tissue.
Sphingomyelins (SMs) are bioactive sphingolipids found in mammalian cell membranes.1SMs make up 2-15% of the total organ phospholipid population but are found at higher concentrations in the brain and myelin sheaths surrounding peripheral nerves. They interact with cholesterol to control its distribution within cellular membranes and maintain cholesterol homeostasis in cells. SMs undergo hydrolysis by sphingomyelinase to form ceramides, which are sphingolipid mediators of intracellular signaling.2This product is a mixture of SMs, with variable fatty acyl chain lengths, isolated from buttermilk.

Collagenase Type I 是一种蛋白水解酶,主要靶点是胶原蛋白,能够分解胶原蛋白中的肽键。Collagenase 作为一种潜在的治疗选择来分解突出的椎间盘物质,从而减少对附近神经的压迫。Collagenase 可能有助于过度疤痕组织的分解和重组,潜在地改善组织功能和外观。Collagenase 具有治疗椎间盘突出、瘢痕疙瘩、脂肪团、脂肪瘤以及佩罗尼氏病和手掌纤维瘤病等方面的潜力。
Drofenin is an anticonvulsant. It is an anticholinergic that acts both at the level of the nerves and the muscle fibers (neurotropic musculotropic effect). Drofenin also acts as FIASMA (functional inhibitor of acid sphingomyelinase )
Angiotensin II 是一种主要的生物活性血管收缩肽,通过与AT1R和AT2R受体结合,调节血压,刺激交感神经,促进醛固酮合成和肾脏功能。它还能诱导血管平滑肌细胞增生、胶原合成增加,导致血管和心肌增厚及纤维化,同时促进细胞凋亡和内皮细胞毛细血管形成。Angiotensin II常用于诱导高血压和心脏肥大动物模型。
