5-chloro Hydrochlorothiazide is a derivative of hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic and antihypertensive agent that increases renal excretion of sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions by inhibiting tubular reabsorptive mechanisms.
Tetranactin is a macrotetrolide and a monovalent cation ionophore that has been found in S. aureus and has antibacterial, insecticidal, and mitogenic activities. It exhibits an equilibrium permeability ratio 1,000-fold greater for lithium than sodium or cesium ions accross bilayer membranes at low voltages. Tetranactin inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and C. miyabeanus and R. solani fungi when used at concentrations less than 0.9 μg/ml. Tetranactin (0.5-1.5 μg per insect) dose-dependently increases the mortality of adult C. chinensis weevils up to 100% and has mitogenic activity against T. telarius when sprayed onto plants with an LC50 value of 9.2 μg/ml. It reduces IL-1β- and cAMP-induced secretion of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) from rat mesangial cells (IC50s = 43 and 33 nM, respectively). Tetranactin (50 ng/ml) suppresses the proliferation of human T lymphocytes induced by allogeneic cells and IL-2 and supresses the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in mixed lymphocyte cultures. In vivo, tetranactin (10 mg/animal per day) completely inhibits the formation of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in rats.
8-CPT-2Me-cAMP sodium is a sodium salt compound that selectively activates exchange proteins activated by cAMP (Epac). These Epac proteins are cAMP-sensitive guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) responsible for activating small GTPases Rap1 and Rap2. 8-CPT-2Me-cAMP sodium specifically activates Epac1 with an EC50 value of 2.2 μM, while showing no activation of PKA with an EC50 value greater than 10 μM [1]. Additionally, 8-CPT-2Me-cAMP sodium stimulates the Epac-mediated release of calcium ions (Ca2+) in vitro in pancreatic β-cells [2].
Deethylindanomycin is a polyether antibiotic that has been found in S. setonii. It is active against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria, including various strains of S. aureus and Streptococcus, as well as one strain of S. pneumoniae (MICs = 4, 4, and 2 μg/ml, respectively). It is also active against coccidia in vitro, inhibiting E. tenella development, but is inactive against E. tenella infection in chicks when administered at a dose of 200 μg/g in the diet. Deethylindanomycin acts as an ionophore in lipid bilayer membranes and is more selective for potassium ions than calcium, magnesium, and sodiumions. It induces histamine release from rodent mast cells and human basophils in vitro in a calcium-dependent manner.
Oxybuprocaine is an ester-type local anesthetic that is used especially in ophthalmology and otolaryngology. Oxybuprocaine binds to sodium channels and reversibly stabilizes the neuronal membrane which decreases its permeability to sodiumions.
