5(6)-CFDA is a common aliphatic luciferin-line organism. CFDA conducts free diffusion into cells, and then it is hydrolyzed into carboxyl fluorescein (CF) by intracellular non-specific lipase. CF containing portion contains an additional negative charge so that it is better retained in cells, compared to fluorescein dyes.

Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser is an integrin binding sequence that inhibits integrin receptor function. Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser directly and specifically bind pro-caspase-8, pro-caspase-9 and pro-caspase-3, while it does not bind pro-caspase-1.

Pirodavir is a potent, broad-spectrum picornavirus inhibitor, and is highly active against both group A and group B rhinovirus serotypes.Pirodavir is very potent in a virus yield reduction assay (IC90=2.3 nM).

Cefepime (BMY-28142) is a fourth-generation cephalosporin used to treat a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infections. It is approved for the management of pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft-tissue infections, intra-abdominal infections, and febrile neutropenia. Cefepime exerts its bactericidal effect by covalently binding and inhibiting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby disrupting the final […]

Acetyl Coenzyme A trisodium is a membrane-impermeant central metabolic intermediate involved in the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. It serves as a critical link between carbohydrate, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolism and acts as the sole acetyl group donor for protein acetylation, regulating cellular processes including autophagy via the acetyltransferase EP300.

Coenzyme Q0 (CoQ0) is a potent, oral active ubiquinone compound can be derived from Antrodia cinnamomea. Coenzyme Q0 induces apoptosis and autophagy, suppresses of HER-2/AKT/mTOR signaling to potentiate the apoptosis and autophagy mechanisms. Coenzyme Q0 regulates NFκB/AP-1 activation and enhances Nrf2 stabilization in attenuation of inflammation and redox imbalance. Coenzyme Q0 has anti-angiogenic activity through […]

Laurdan is a membrane-permeable fluorescent probe that displays spectral sensitivity to the phospholipid phase of the cell membrane to which it is bound. Quantitation of generalized polarization (GP) of Laurdan can be used to identify phospholipid phase.

Fluorescein-5-maleimide (N-(5-Fluoresceinyl)maleimide) is a fluorescent dye. Fluorescein-5-maleimide can be used to detect the redox state of thiols in eukaryotic cells. Fluorescein-5-maleimide can label peptides and is used to detect negatively charged nanoparticles. Fluorescein-5-maleimide can also label actin to explore its interaction with cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C), which helps in developing small molecule modulators for […]

Kanamycin (Kanamycin A) is an orally active antibacterial (gram-negative/positive bacteria) agent, inhibits translocation and causes misencoding by binding to the 70 S ribosomal subunit. Kanamycin shows good inhibitory activity to both M. tuberculosis (sensitive and drug-resistant ) and K. pneumonia, which can be used in studies of tuberculosis and pneumonia.

BTS (N-Benzyl-p-toluenesulfonamide) is a potent and selective inhibitor of skeletal muscle myosin II subfragment 1 (S1) ATPase activity, with an IC50s of ~5 μM for actin- and Ca2+-stimulated myosin S1 ATPase. BTS specifically inhibits the contraction of fast skeletal muscle fibers.
