TAT peptide corresponds to the polycationic aa49-57 region of TAT protein. TAT peptide is a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) used to cargo larger molecules through the lipophilic barrier of the cellular membranes to deliver them inside the cells with intact biological activity.

Memantine, an amantadine derivative with some dopaminergic effects, has been proposed as an antiparkinson agent and has may be used to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. It acts on the glutamatergic system by blocking NMDA receptors.

Cell-permeable calmodulin (CaM) agonist that binds to the EF-hand/Ca2+-binding site; produces CaM-dependent activation of phosphodiesterase. Also binds to cytoplasmic sites on other Ca2+ channels, including NMDA and HIV-1 gp120-activated channels, inhibiting Ca2+-mediated cytotoxicity and apoptosis (IC50 = 52 μM). Shown to protect pancreatic acinar cells from gossypol induced necrosis. Inhibits VLA-5-mediated adhesion of mast cells to fibronectin in vitro and attenuates inflammatory cell influx in guinea pig lung in vivo.
