RV01 is an analogue of resveratrol, inhibits DNA damage, reduces acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) mRNA expression induced by ethanol, and exhibits hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. RV01 decreases iNOS expression, with anti-neuroinflammatory activity.
NCT-505 is a potent and selective aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1A1) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 7 nM, and weakly inhibits hALDH1A2, hALDH1A3, hALDH2, hALDH3A1 (IC50s, >57, 22.8, 20.1, >57 μM).
