Building block for synthesis. DPA is a secondary amine with two picolyl substituents. The compound is a tridentate ligand in coordination chemistry and commonly used to produce Zn-based chemosensors/probes, such as Zinpry. As a tridentate ligand this compound provides three nitrogen donors that affords good selectivity for Zn2+ over biologically relevant metals such as Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+, and leaves coordination sites free for anion binding. The amino nitrogen of the DPA group is a good candidate as an electron donor in either photoinduced electron transfer or photoinduced charge transfer (PET or PCT) sensors. Zn(II)–DPA complexes are widely used in anion recognition and sensing.

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a cytokine produced by type 2 helper T cells, the Th2 cells. These cells tends to make a specific set of lymphokines including IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-3 and GM-CSF and fail to produce IL-2, IFN-gamma, and lymphotoxin (TNF-beta). In addition, mast cells can produce IL-4. IL-4 exerts numerous effects on various hematopoietic cell types. On B cells, IL-4 promotes immunoglobulin class switching to IgE and IgG1 isotypes and upregulates MHC class II and CD23 expression. IL-4 promotes survival, growth, and differentiation of both T and B lymphocytes, mast cells and endothelial cells. In addition, IL-4 inhibits the production of TNF, IL-1, and IL-6 by macrophages.

CD137 (4-1BB) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family. CD137 is expressed by activated T cells, dendritic cells, NK cells, granulocytes and cells of blood vessel walls at sites of inflammation. CD137 has costimulatory activity for activated T cells. Crosslinking of CD137 enhances T cell proliferation, IL-2 secretion survival and cytolytic activity. CD137 was shown to enhance immune activity to eliminate tumors in mice.

GLPG0634 is a novel and specific inhibitor of JAK1 and JAK2 with IC(50) of 10nM and 28nM respectively measured by in vitro kinase assays (ATP 2µM). In particular GLPG0634, while being a potent inhibitor of JAK1 and JAK2 does not inhibit TYK2 or JAK3, and GLPG0634 exhibits a dramatically improved in vivo potency over structurally similar compounds. May be used for the prevention of variety of conditions in animals including inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, proliferative diseases, transplant rejection, diseases involving impairment of cartilage turnover, congenital cartilage malformation and/or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IL-6.

FTO (Fat mass-and obesity-associated gene) is the responsible gene for mouse ‘fused toes’ mutation. An association between FTO genotype and type 2 diabetes has been confirmed. The presence of the FTO rs9939609 A-allele was found to be positively correlated with other symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, including higher fasting insulin, glucose, triglycerides, and lower HDL-cholesterol.

Human CD279 (PD-1; Programmed Death 1) is a 55kDa Ig superfamily member with similarity to CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4). It is expressed on activated T and B and myeloid cells and engagement by its ligands PD-L1 (CD274; B7-H1) or PD-L2 (B7-DC) can inhibit proliferation and cytokine expression. In mice blockade of PD-1 ligand interaction has been used to augment T cell anti-cancer responses.

CTRP5 (C1qTNF-related protein 5; C1QTNF5) belongs to a highly conserved family of adiponectin paralogs. CTRP5 mediates activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in muscle and liver cells, thereby regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. Serum levels of CTRP5 are significantly higher in obese/diabetic animal models compared to normal controls. Furthermore, CTRP5 may be a putative biomarker for mitochondrial dysfunction. Defects in C1QTNF5 are a cause of late-onset retinal degeneration (LORD).
