Selective antagonist of formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) signaling. Inhibits WKYMVm binding to FPR2 (IC50 = 0.23 μM) and inhibits intracellular calcium release induced by WKYMVm, MMK 1, amyloid β42, and F peptide. Also inhibits FPR2-mediated signaling in human neutrophils; blocks chemotactic migration and superoxide generation by amyloid β42 peptide.

Isogambogic acid shows cytotoxic activiity against KB and drug-resistant KB-V1 cell lines.

H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA (S-2238) dihydrochloride, a chromogenic substrate, is patterned after the N-terminal portion of the A alpha chain of fibrinogen, which is the natural substrate of thrombin. H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA dihydrochloride is specific for thrombin and is used to measure antithrombin-heparin cofactor (AT-III). The AT-III assay using H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA dihydrochloride is sensitive, accurate, and easy to perform.
