Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid, considered a potential neurotoxin, targets the nervous system and may pose significant health risks when absorbed or metabolized within biologicalsystems.
KB02-JQ1 is a potent and specific proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) that specifically degrades BRD4, acting as a molecular glue. It does not degrade BRD2 or BRD3. The mechanism of action involves covalent modification of the E3 ligase DCAF16, thereby promoting BRD4 degradation. Importantly, KB02-JQ1 demonstrates enhanced stability and durability in facilitating protein degradation within biologicalsystems. The compound forms a complex with the ubiquitin E3 ligase ligand KB02 through a linker, resulting in the formation of KB02-JQ1[1].
KB02-SLF is a PROTAC-based nuclear FKBP12 degrader, known as a molecular glue. It facilitates the degradation of nuclear FKBP12 by covalently modifying DCAF16, an E3 ligase. Moreover, KB02-SLF enhances the longevity of protein degradation in biologicalsystems. The compound SLF acts as a linker, binding to the ubiquitin E3 ligase ligand KB02, resulting in the formation of KB02-SLF[1].
A 78773 is a potent, selective, direct, and reversible 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor. It has activity in a variety of purified cells and in more complex biologicalsystems such as whole blood, lung fragments, and tracheal tissues. A 78773 acts against inflamma
(±)12-HEPE is produced by non-enzymatic oxidation of EPA. It contains equal amounts of 12(S)-HEPE and 12(R)-HEPE. The biological activity of (±)12-HEPE is likely mediated by one of the individual isomers, most commonly the 12(S) isomer in mammalian systems. 12-HEPE inhibits platelet aggregation with the same potency as 12-HETE, exhibiting IC50 values of 24 and 25 µM, respectively. [1] These compounds are also equipotent as inhibitors of U46619-induced contraction of rat aorta (IC50s = 8.6-8.8 µM).[2]
Sulfatides are endogenous sulfoglycolipids with various biological activities in the central and peripheral nervous systems, pancreas, and immune system. They are produced from the combination of ceramide and UDP-galactose in the endoplasmic reticulum followed by sulfation in the Golgi apparatus. The ceramide portion contains variable fatty acid chain lengths, which are tissue- and pathology-dependent. Sulfatides are primarily found in the myelin sheath of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, with smaller chain lengths predominant during development and longer chain lengths predominant in mature cells. They accumulate in the lysosome of patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy, a disorder characterized by arylsulfatase A deficiency. Sulfatides are also located in pancreatic β-cells and inhibit insulin release from isolated rat pancreatic islet cells, suggesting a potential role in diabetes. Sulfatides can induce inflammation in glia in vitro and certain sulfatides, such as C24:1 3'-sulfo-galactosylceramide, can induce an immune response in vitro in mouse splenocytes. Sulfatides (bovine) (sodium salt) is a mixture of isolated bovine sulfatides.
