Chemicals & Small Molecules

Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E (A2E)is an initiator of blue-light-induced apoptosis . Photoactivation of Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E mediates autophagy and the production of reactive oxygen species [1] [2] .

14:0 EPC chloride, an acyl cationic lipid, is utilized in the formation of liposomes for drug delivery applications [1].

ODN 1826 is a 20-mer DNA strand, a TLR9 agonist and an immunostimulant, with anti-tumor and cardioprotective effects, promoting apoptosis, and stimulating the production of NO and iNOS. ODN 1826 is a CpG DNA mimetic that can be used as an adjuvant for synthetic vaccines.

MS8815, a selective proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrader of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), exhibits inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 8.6 nM. It is utilized in the research of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) [1].

Pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 phosphorylated, acts as a central metabolite, potent antioxidant, and enzyme substrate by serving as the aminated counterpart to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrate. It plays a pivotal role as a cofactor for various enzymes and is a prominent vitamin B6 vitamer. The compound can be interconverted with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrate [1].

MitoSOX Red TFA (Mito-hydroethidine TFA) is a fluorescent probe that specifically targets mitochondria in living cells.MitoSOX Red is susceptible to oxidation by superoxide, but is not easily oxidized by other ROS or RNS-generating systems.MitoSOX Red acts as a fluorescent indicator and can be used for live cell imaging.

Angoline hydrochloride (6-Methoxyldihydrochelerythrine) is an IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor isolated from Zanthoxylum nitidum with anticancer activity and inhibits STAT3 signaling.

Norleual TFA, an analog of angiotensin (Ang) IV, functions as a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met inhibitor, displaying a potent inhibition capability with an IC50 of 3 pM. Additionally, it acts as an AT4 receptor antagonist and demonstrates significant antiangiogenic activities [1].

HIV-1 TAT (48-60) Acetate, a commonly used membrane-permeable carrier peptide, is an arginine-rich basic peptide derived from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 Tat) protein that enables intracellular delivery of compounds.
