BI-2493 is a highly selective pan-KRAS inhibitor and structural analog of BI-2865.BI-2493 exhibits antitumor activity and inhibits tumor cell growth and can be used in the study of cancerous diseases.

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.

Carbazochrome sodium sulfonate (AC-17) is an antihemorrhagic for use in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
