Tunicamycin 15:1 is a mixture of tunicamycin structural isomers that contain a 15-carbon N-acyl chain with variable branching patterns. The N-acyl chain incorporated into tunicamycins, like tunicamycin 15:1, is derived from the same pool of cellular branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) inStreptomycesand directly impacts the biological activity of each individual tunicamycin variant.1,2,3Purified tunicamycin 15:1 withiso,anteiso, or a mixture ofisoandanteisobranching configurations inhibit bacterial phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide transferase (MraY) with IC50values of 0.05, 0.36, and 0.09 μM, respectively.2

Sphingosine (d18:1), an amino alcohol, is chiefly recognized for its 18-carbon unsaturated hydrocarbon chain. Nevertheless, in mammalian tissues, both sphingosine and its variant, dihydrosphingosine, feature hydrocarbon chains ranging from 12 to 26 carbons. Sphingosine (d15:1) represents a naturally rare variant, serving as an internal standard for chromatographic or spectrometric analyses of sphingoid compounds.
[Ala1,3,11,15]-Endothelin (TFA) is a highly selective for endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) receptor.[Ala1,3,11,15]-Endothelin is a selective ETB endothelin receptor agonist (IC50 values are 0.33 and 2200 nM for displacing [125I]-ET-1 from ET
Potent and selective CLK inhibitor (IC50 values are 28, 88 and 510 nM for CLK4, 1 and 2, respectively). Exhibits no significant activity at CLK3, DYRK, CDK or GSK3 at a concentration of 10 μM. Inhibits growth of a range of cancer cell lines in vitro at subnanomolar concentrations.
