Abstract
Exaggerated or inappropriate signaling by the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) tyrosine kinase has been implicated in a wide variety of diseases. Thus, a series of piperazinyl quinazoline compounds were identified as potent antagonists of the PDGFR by screening chemical libraries. An optimized analog, CT52923, was shown to be an ATP-competitive inhibitor that exhibited remarkable specificity when tested against other kinases, including all members of the closely related PDGFR family. The PDGFRs and stem cell factor receptor were inhibited with an IC(50) of 100 to 200 nM, while 45- to >200-fold higher concentrations of CT52923 were required to inhibit fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 and colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor, respectively. Other receptor tyrosine kinases, cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, serine/threonine kinases, or members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway were not significantly inhibited at 100- to 1000-fold higher concentrations. In addition, this compound also demonstrated specificity for inhibition of cellular responses. Platelet-derived growth factor-induced smooth muscle cell migration or fibroblast proliferation was found to be blocked by CT52923 with an IC(50) of 64 and 280 nM, respectively, whereas 50- to 100-fold higher concentrations were required to inhibit these responses when induced with fibroblast growth factor. To investigate the effect of CT52923 on PDGFR signaling, in vivo studies demonstrated that CT52923 could significantly inhibit neointima formation following carotid artery injury by oral administration in the rat. Therefore, PDGFR antagonism by CT52923 could be a viable strategy for the prevention of clinical restenosis or the treatment of other human diseases involving PDGFR signaling.

Abstract
We examined the effect of benidipine, a 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, on depolarizing stimulation-induced increases of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in cultured mouse hippocampal neurons in comparison with those of nicardipine and nilvadipine. Benidipine (0.1-10 microM) inhibited the [Ca2+]i increase compared with the no drug control response. This effect was stronger than those of nicardipine and nilvadipine. The inhibitory effect of benidipine lasted even after washing out the drug for 125 min, while those of nicardipine and nilvadipine disappeared more rapidly. This is the first report that demonstrates that benidipine inhibits the [Ca2+]i increase in the neuron itself.

Abstract
Hybrid peptides were constructed from endothelin B receptor (ET(B)) selective antagonist RES-701-1 (1) and endothelin (ET-1). They have N-terminal 10 amino acids derived from 1 and C-terminal 10 amino acids derived from ET-1. RES-701-1(1-10)-[Ala15]ET-1(12-21) and its analogues substituted or truncated at the residues derived from RES-701-1 had proved to possess high receptor binding activity selective for ETB as well as 1. Substitutions at the residues derived from ET-1 had produced some analogues that possessed high affinity not only for ETB but for ETA. Although all analogues had antagonistic effects on ETA, some analogues had proved to function as agonist on ETB confirmed by the changes in intracellular calcium concentrations of ET receptor-transfected COS-7 cells. We have found four types of ET receptor-binding peptides: (1) ETB-selective agonist with weak ETA antagonism (3, KT7421); (2) ETB-selective antagonist with weak ETA antagonism (29, KT7539); (3) ETB agonist with potent ETA antagonism (27, KT7538); and (4) non-selective ETA/ETB antagonist (26, KT7540).

Abstract
The effects of a novel N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, ES-242-1 (3,3'-dimethyl-3,4,3',4'-tetrahydro-6,8,6',8'-tetramethoxy-[10,10' - bi-2-oxanthracene]-4,9,9'-(1H,1'H)-triol 4-acetate), on NMDA-induced increases of intracellular Ca2+ concentration in cultured hippocampal neurons were examined. ES-242-1 selectively blocked the NMDA-induced increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), but not the [Ca2+]i increase stimulated by quisqualate or kainate. The effect of ES-242-1 appeared in the slow development of a blockade of [Ca2+]i (half blocking time: 90 sec) when 100 microM NMDA was applied with 10 microM ES-242-1, whereas the initial [Ca2+]i rise was attenuated by 10 microM ES-242-1 when the latter was applied with a lower concentration of NMDA (10 microM). This is consistent with a previous observation that ES-242-1 binds to both the transmitter recognition site and the channel domain. The blockade by ES-242-1 was reversed by washing. In contrast, the blockade by MK-801 was not relieved easily by washing. These results suggest that ES-242-1 blocks the NMDA-induced [Ca2+]i increase due to a combination of two well-recognized mechanisms, which are different from that of MK-801, at the NMDA receptor.

Abstract
The unique cyclic peptide designated RES-701-1 blocked the binding of 125I-labeled endothelin (ET)-1 to bovine cerebellar membranes. ETB receptors are predominant in bovine cerebellum. However, in bovine lung membranes, where both ETA and ETB receptors are expressed, RES-701-1 inhibited 125I-ET-1 binding by up to 70%; RES-701-1, in the presence of the ETA-selective antagonist BQ-123 at 1 microM, displaced 125I-ET-1 binding completely. With membranes from transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the human ETA or ETB receptors, RES-701-1 inhibited 125I-ET-1 binding to the ETB receptor with an IC50 value of 10 nM but had no effect on 125I-ET-1 binding to the ETA receptor. Thus, RES-701-1 is highly specific for the ETB receptor; it has no effect on a number of other receptors. RES-701-1 selectively inhibited the ET-1-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration in COS-7 cells expressing the ETB receptor but did not inhibit the Ca2+ transient in ETA-expressing cells. When injected intravenously (250 nmol/kg) into anesthetized rats, RES-701-1 abolished the initial depressor response to ET-1 but enhanced the subsequent pressor response. These results suggest that RES-701-1 is a potent and specific antagonist for the ETB receptor and that RES-701-1 will be a powerful tool for understanding the physiological roles of this receptor.

Abstract
ES-242-1 approximately 5 are novel microbial bioxanthracenes which do not contain nitrogen. The ES-242s inhibited the binding of [3H]TCP and [3H]CGS19755 to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex. They had no effect on the binding of the specific ligands for the non-NMDA receptor. The biochemical and pharmacological properties of ES-242-1 were fully examined since it is the most potent of the five compounds. ES-242-1 is highly specific for the NMDA receptor; it has no effect on other receptors. Kinetic analyses indicated that ES-242-1 inhibited the binding of [3H]TCP and [3H]CGS19755 in a competitive manner, respectively, suggesting that ES-242-1 interacts with both the transmitter recognition site and the channel domain. ES-242-1 selectively inhibited NMDA-induced Ca2+ influx in primary cultures of mouse hippocampal neurons. ES-242-1 also specifically blocked the increase in cyclic GMP accumulation induced by NMDA or L-glutamate in rat cerebellar slices. In a concentration range of 0.1-1.0 microM, ES-242-1 was as potent as MK-801 in preventing glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultures of mouse hippocampal neurons. These results show that ES-242-1 is a potent and specific antagonist for the NMDA receptor. The antagonistic properties of the ES-242s appear to be due to a novel mechanism of action at the NMDA receptor.

Abstract
We have found that a fungal strain, Talaromyces wortmannin KY12420, produces a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). This active product, designated as MS-54, was isolated and purified from the culture broth of the fungus and identified as wortmannin. The inhibition of MLCK by wortmannin was prevented by a high concentration of ATP. The activity of the catalytic domain, which was disclosed by partial tryptic digestion, was also inhibited by wortmannin. These results suggest that wortmannin acts at or near to the catalytic site of the enzyme. It was shown clearly by kinetic analyses, preincubation studies, and dialysis experiments that the inhibitory action of wortmannin on MLCK was irreversible. Under the condition of preincubation for 3 min, 0.3 microM wortmannin inhibited the activity of MLCK, while 10 microM wortmannin had no effect on the activities of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, and had little effect on protein kinase C activity. These data expressed clearly the marked selectivity of the compound for MLCK. Furthermore, wortmannin also inhibited both the phosphorylation of myosin light chain and the contraction in rat thoracic aorta stimulated with KCl, which indicates the effectiveness of the compound in the cellular level as an MLCK inhibitor.
