Delucemine

Delucemine (NPS-1506) is a drug which acts as an NMDA antagonist and a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and has neuroprotective effects. It was originally investigated for the treatment of stroke and in 2004 was studied as a potential antidepressant.

Origin

The basic structure of Delucemine was based on argiotoxin 636, a NMDA antagonist isolated from the venom of the Araneid Argiope aurantia.

Fujicolor Pro

Fujicolor Pro is a line of professional color negative films from Japanese company Fujifilm. It currently consists of Pro 160NS and Pro 400H.

Pro 160NS merges the previous Pro 160C and Pro 160S variants into one film. There was also a Pro 800Z.

Until recently the line had "NP" names: NPS 160, NPC 160, NPH 400, and NPZ 800. There were also NPL 160 (tungsten balanced) and NHG II (800 ASA) but these have been discontinued.

With the new "Pro" names the 160 ISO emulsions were also adjusted to be finer grained and have more neutral colour balance. All four incorporate Fuji's 4th cyan layer for improved colour rendition.

NPS-2143

NPS-2143 (SB-262,470A) is a calcilytic drug which acts as an antagonist at the Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), and consequently stimulates release of parathyroid hormone. Calcilytic drugs have been researched as potential treatments for osteoporosis, and as the first such compound developed, NPS-2143 is still widely used in research into the CaSR receptor as well as design of newer calcilytic agents.
