Trihydroxychalcone (Isoliquiritigenin, ISL) is a flavonoid found in licorice root and several other plants that displays antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,and antitumor activities as well as hepatoprotection against steatosis-induced oxidative stress. Trihydroxychalcone is a potent antimetastatic agent, which can markedly inhibit the metastatic and invasive capacity of prostate cancer cells. The inhibition of JNK/AP-1 signaling may be one of the mechanisms by which ISL inhibits cancer cell invasion and migration. Trihydroxychalcone has been shown to be a BACE1 inhibitor, which could ameliorate memory impairment in mice, and is expected to be potentially used as a lead compound for further anti-AD reagent development.

N,N-Diallyl-5-methoxytryptamine (N-Allyl-N-[2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl] prop-2-en-1- amine, 5-MeO-DALT) is a psychedelic tryptamine first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. N,N-Diallyl-5-methoxytryptamine is used as a hallucinogenic drug has been reported only occasionally in online user fora. It is controlled in only a few countries worldwide. There is little scientifically-based literature on the pharmacological, physiological, psychopharmacological, toxicological and epidemiological characteristics of 5-MeO-DALT. Most of the information published on the effects of 5-MeO-DALT is derived from first-hand personal accounts presented in discussion fora. User reports suggest that its effects are felt within 15 min of being taken orally, and its full effects within 30 min. User reports on 5-MeO-DALT state rapid, strong entheogenic effect, euphoric, sensual, energised bodies, visual hallucinations (similar to those experienced with MDMA), loss of control of limbs making walking difficult, and ‘out of body’ type experience Acute mental effects reported include: increased alertness and awareness, increased arousal, and agitation.

EC23, also known as AGN 190205, is photostable synthetic analog of All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). EC23 is an agonist of retinoic acid receptors: alpha, beta and gamma, while having no appreciable activity for retinoid X receptors and weakly activates aryl hydrocarbon receptor. It was shown, that EC23 induced neural differentiation in human pluripotent embryonic stem cells.

PD-153035 is a potent and selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase EGFR. PD 153035 shows a potent and selective inhibitory effect on tyrosine phosphorylation induced by EGF in Swiss 3T3 fibroblast and A-431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells. PD153035 shows dose-dependent growth inhibitory effects in cultures of EGF receptor-overexpressing human cancer cell lines (A431, Difi, DU145, MDA-MB-468, and ME180) and in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines (NPC-TW01, NPC-TW04, and HONE1). Pretreatment of EGFR inhibitors by 24 hours significantly enhances the cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin, paclitaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil in NPCTW04 cells. PD153035 abolishes COX-2 expression induced by the PAR(2)-activating peptide 2-furoyl-LIGRLO-NH(2) (2fLI) in Caco-2 colon cancer cells. In A431 human epidermoid tumors grown as xenografts in immunodeficient nude mice, PD153035 at 80 mg/kg i.p. inhibit EGF receptor tyrosine kinase activity. PD153035 improves glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and signaling and reduces subclinical inflammation in HFD-fed mice.
