WS3 is a β-cell proliferation indocer via the IκB kinase pathway and modulation of the Erb3 binding-protein. Potential treatment and cure for diabetes type I.

ws 3 is an agonist of trpm8 receptor with ec50 value of 3.7 μm [1].transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily m member 8 (trpm8) is a ca2+- and na+-permeable ion channel and is activated by cooling agents and cold temperatures. trpm8 belongs to trp family and is expressed in sensory neurons.ws 3 is an agonist of trpm8 receptor and a cooling agent. in hek293 cells expressed recombinant mouse trpm8, ws 3 (30 μm) increased [ca2+]i. ws 3 exhibited potency with ec50 value of 3.7 μm and induced 86% efficacy of the maximal response to icilin, the most potent agonist [1]. in hek cells stably expressing either htrpm8 or htrpa1, ws 3 activated htrpm8 and htrpa1 with ec50 values of 2.2 and 120.6 μm, respectively. ws 3 was efficacious in eliciting cooling sensation [2].
