Succinic acid (IUPAC systematic name: butanedioic acid; historically known as spirit of amber) is a diprotic, dicarboxylic acid with chemical formula C4H6O4 and structural formula HOOC-(CH2)2-COOH. It is a white, odorless solid. Succinate plays a role in the citric acid cycle, an energy-yielding process. The name derives from Latin succinum, meaning amber, from which the […]

Spermine is a polyamine involved in cellular metabolism found in all eukaryotic cells. Formed from spermidine, it is found in a wide variety of organisms and tissues and is an essential growth factor in some bacteria. It is found as a polycation at physiological pH. Spermine is associated with nucleic acids and is thought to […]

Warfarin (also known under the brand names Coumadin, Jantoven, Marevan, Lawarin, Waran, and Warfant) is an anticoagulant normally used in the prevention of thrombosis and thromboembolism, the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels and their migration elsewhere in the body respectively.

Mycophenolic Acid (MPA) is an immunosuppressive agent with antitumor and antiviral effects. It inhibits the synthesis of guanosine nucleotides by binding the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). This limits the proliferation of T- and B-lympocytes.

Urochloralic Acid is a crystalline glycoside C8H11Cl3O7 found in the urine after chloral hydrate isadministered.

Profilin-1 (Bet v 2.0101) binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profiling-1 averts the polymerization of actin, whereas it augments it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, Profilin-1 inhibits the creation of IP3 and DG.

Major pollen allergen Bet v 1-A (Bet v 1.0101) causes an allergic reaction in humans. Bet v 1.0101 is a cause of type I allergic reactions in Europe, North America and the former Soviet Union states, observed in early spring.
