Cyclo(Pro-Gly) is an active metabolite of piracetam-N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine (GWS-111), it shows a greater resistance to an enzymatic effect than natural neuropeptides. Cyclo-(Gly-Pro) shows cytotoxicity at the concentration of 10 umol/L, it inhibits the growth of Bacillus subtilis with the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.8, 0.8 g/L.

ACHP Hydrochloride (IKK-2 Inhibitor VIII) is a highly potent and selective IKK-β inhibitor (IC50: 8.5 nM).

alpha-Ketoglutarate is a key molecule in the TCA cycle. It can be produced from glutamate by oxidative deamination via glutamate dehydrogenase and as a product of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent transamination reactions (mediated by branched-chain amino acid transaminases) in which glutamate is a common amino donor.
