6-NBDG, a fluorescent glucose analogue, can be used as a fluorescent probe.6-NBDG can be used for monitoring glucose transport and uptake. 6-NBDG can be used as for detecting macrophage-rich atherosclerotic plaques.

Amyloid β-Protein (3-42) is the precursor of Pyr peptide. Pyroglutamate-modified Aβ (pEAβ) (3-42) is the core of the amyloid template block in Alzheimer's disease. pEAβ(3-42) accelerated the aggregation of Aβ(1-42), while Aβ(1-42) significantly slowed the primary and secondary nucleation of pEAβ(3-42).

Potent and selective KV1.3 channel blocker (IC50 values are 0.0019 and 0.65 nM for KV1.3 and KV1.1, respectively). Inhibits CD4+ CCR7- T cell activation. Ameliorates rat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, in a model for multiple sclerosis.
