Amylases

Amylase compounds include the starch-digesting enzyme, oligosaccharide substrates and glycosidase inhibitors. Alpha-amylases cleave internal α-1,4-glycosidic bonds of starch and glycogen and release maltose and short dextrins. Salivary and pancreatic amylases start starch digestion, and the structure of human salivary amylase was solved at 1.6 Å resolution in 1996. In 2007, copy number of the salivary amylase gene (AMY1) was found to be higher in populations with high-starch diets. The list holds the enzyme itself as Amylase and the defined substrate maltotetraose for activity assays. Deoxynojirimycin, an iminosugar that inhibits glucosidases I and II, represents the glycosidase inhibitors. Other entries are mixed, such as proglumide sodium salt and the stilbene gnetol.

    A59673

    A71378

    A71378 is a selective CCK-A receptor agonist with an IC50 of 0.4 nM for the pancreatic CCK-A receptor, and significantly higher IC50 values for the cortical CCK-B and gastrin receptors at 300 nM and 1,200 nM, respectively. This compound effectively stimulates pancreatic amylase secretion with an EC50 of 0.16 nM and induces ileal muscle contraction with an EC50 of 3.7 nM. A71378 is valuable for research applications focusing on gastrointestinal pharmacology and the role of CCK-A receptors in digestive processes.

    A59718

    A-70874

    A-70874 is a tyrosine-free tetrapeptide analog of cholecystokinin (CCK-4), acting as an agonist for pancreatic amylase release. It also serves as a partial agonist, promoting phosphoinositide decomposition in pancreatic cells. With an IC50 of 4.9 nM for the guinea pig pancreatic CCK receptor, A-70874 shows a notable affinity of 1.6 μM for the CCK-B/gastrin receptor. This compound is valuable for investigating the physiological roles of CCK receptors in both the digestive system and the central nervous system.

    Galanin (2-29) (rat)

    Synonyms: Rat galanin(2-29)

    Galanin (2-29) (rat) is a selective GAL2R agonist with a Ki of 3.5 nM, exhibiting significant biological activity in modulating peptide secretion. This peptide has been shown to inhibit rat pancreatic protein and CCK-8-stimulated amylase secretion, making it a valuable tool for research on pancreatic function and gastrointestinal regulation. Applications include studies on neuroendocrine signaling and the investigation of galanin receptor pathways.

  • Aclatonium napadisylate
    Cat. No.
    A78530

    Aclatonium napadisylate

    Aclatonium napadisylate is a cholinergic agonist that enhances amylase release and facilitates Ca2+ efflux. This compound stimulates pancreatic exocrine secretion and promotes gastrointestinal motility and peristalsis. Aclatonium napadisylate is particularly relevant for research into gastrointestinal disorders and associated therapeutic approaches.
