Potent, high affinity apelin receptor agonist (IC50 = 0.27 nM; Kd = 0.51 nM). Exhibits no binding GPR15 and GPR25. Activates the PI3K/AKT pathway and promotes self-renewal of hESCs via cell-cycle progression and protein translation. Also potentiates the TGFβ pathway, priming hESCs toward the endoderm lineage. Stimulates angiogenesis in HUVEC cells. Relaxes mouse aortic vessels. Functions as an anorexigenic hormone through activation of the AVP and CRH neurons in the PVN.

SHMT-IN-2 (compound 2) is a specific human SHMT1/2 small molecule inhibitor that acts on SHMT1 (IC50: 13 nM) and SHMT2 (IC50: 66 nM). SHMT-IN-2 inhibits the growth of many human cancer cells and is sensitive to B-cell lymphoma.

Amino-PEG9-alcohol is a PEG-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs.
