Endogenous central calcitonin (CT) receptor agonist that stimulates cAMP formation at a potency 350-fold greater than CT (ED50 values are 0.2 and 71 nM respectively). Displays no activity at calcitonin-gene related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin receptors. Inhibits formation of multinuclear osteoclasts with similar efficacy to CT in vitro. Suppresses food intake and increases body temperature in free-feeding rats, and significantly decreases plasma calcium levels in vivo.

Gnetifolin K (GnetifolinK) is a novel stilbene diglucoside from Gnetum parvifolium with potential neuroprotective activity for the study of DNA damage.

CP-640186 HCl is an isozyme-nonselective acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) inhibitor, including rat liver ACC1 (IC50: 53 nM) and rat skeletal muscle ACC2 (IC50: 61 nM); with higher metabolic stability than CP-610431.
