Activators & Inhibitors

6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent with immunosuppressant properties. It interferes with nucleic acid synthesis by inhibiting purine metabolism and is used, usually in combination with other drugs, in the treatment of or in remission maintenance programs for leukemia.

2-Phenylethanol (Phenylethanol) is an antimicrobial, antiseptic, and disinfectant. It is used also as an aromatic essence and preservative in pharmaceutics and perfumery.

Cinchonine (LA40221), a local anesthetic of the amide type, now generally used for surface anesthesia. It is one of the most potent and toxic of the long-acting local narcotics and its parenteral use is restricted to spinal anesthesia.

Mecarbinate is an indole derivative with anti-HCV activity and immunomodulatory effects.

Anethole (Anise camphor) is a type of aromatic compound that exists widely in nature, widely utilized as a seasoning substance.

Mephenesin (Cresoxydiol) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant with a short duration of action.

Mexenone (Uvistat) is a benzophenone-derived sun protection.

Phenolphthalein (Phthalin) is an acid-base indicator which is colorless in acid solution, but turns pink to red as the solution becomes alkaline. It is used medicinally as a cathartic.

Procainamide Hydrochloride (Procapan) is the hydrochloride salt form of procainamide, an amide derivative exhibiting class 1A antiarrhythmic property and analog of procaine. Procainamide hydrochloride reversibly binds to and blocks activated (open) voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby blocks the influx of sodium ions into the cell, which leads to an increase in threshold for excitation and inhibit depolarization during phase 0 of the action potential.
