Activators & Inhibitors

Betaine chloride (Betaine hydrochloride) is an acidic form of betaine, a vitamin-like substance observed in grains and other foods; gains the amplification of DNA by decreasing the formation of secondary structure in GC-rich regions.

Sodium 4-aminosalicylate dihydrate (4-Amino-salicylic acid sodium salt) is the sodium salt form of aminosalicylic acid, an analog of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with antitubercular activity. Sodium 4-aminosalicylate dihydrate exerts its bacteriostatic activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis by competing with PABA for enzymes involved in folate synthesis, thereby suppressing growth and reproduction of M. tuberculosis, eventually leading to cell death.

Taurine (2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid) is an organic acid widely distributed in animal tissues and is one of the constituents of bile acids. Taurine is involved in a number of processes related to energy expenditure and muscle function, and can treat fatigue and muscles as well as improve immune function.

Valethamate bromide (Resitan) is an anticholinergic agent that has antispasmodic effects and inhibits glandular secretion.

Primidone (NCI-C56360) is a potent anticonvulsant agent. It is a neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel blocker and has value in the study of epilepsy, essential tremor, and psychiatric disorders.

Haloperidol (Serenace) is a highly potent neuroleptic by relieving nervous through the depression of nerve function. In addition, haloperidol has shown about 50-fold efficacy than chlorpromazine, another antipsychotic drug. Haloperidol has some potencies in the treatment of delusions and hallucinations. Its effects are primarily attained through blocking dopamine receptors in the mesocortex and limbic system.

Sulfalene (SMP2), a long-acting sulfonamide antibiotic, is used for the therapy of chronic bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and malaria.

Octisalate (Octyl salicylate) absorbs UVB rays and is used in sunscreens and cosmetics.

Gamibetal (4-Amino-3-hydroxybutyric Acid) is used as a chiral reagent in the synthesis of antiepileptic and hypotensive drug GABOB and analogues. Also used in the preparation of HIV-1 inhibitors derived from Betulinic Acid (B330250).
