Helenalin is a selective inhibitor of transcription factor NF-κB by direct targeting of p65. It is an anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene lactone compound with alkylating activity. Through its ability to target the cysteine sulfhydryl groups in the p65 subunit of NF-κB, helenalin effectively inhibits its DNA binding.
DCG04 is a multivalent ligand for the mannose-6-phosphate receptor. DCG-04 is an activity-based probe for cysteine cathepsins, enabled fluorescent readout of its receptor-targeting properties. DCG04 is used for endolysosomal targeting of an activity-based
AP-22161 selectively binds the Src SH2 domain by targeting highly conserved phosphotyrosine binding to cysteine residues in the pocket. AP-22161 selectively inhibits Src SH2 binding and can be used to inhibit osteoclast absorption.
Palmitic acid-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Palmitic acid is a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid. It comprises approximately 25% of human total plasma lipids.1 It increases protein levels of COX-2 in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a concentration of 75 μM.2 Palmitic acid is involved in the acylation of proteins to anchor membrane-bound proteins to the lipid bilayer.2,3,4,5,6 |1.

Palmitic acid-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Palmitic acid-13C contains 13C at the C2 position and has been used in the study of free fatty acid incorporation into phospholipid fatty acids in soil microbes.1 Palmitic acid is a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid. It comprises approximately 25% of human total plasma lipids.2 It increases protein levels of COX-2 in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a concentration of 75 μM.3 Palmitic acid is involved in the acylation of proteins to anchor membrane-bound proteins to the lipid bilayer.3,4,5,6,7
F-amidine is a selective inhibitor of protein arginine deiminases (PADs), specifically targeting PAD1 and PAD4 with in vitro IC50 values of 29.5, 350, and 21.6 µM for PAD1, PAD3, and PAD4, respectively. It irreversibly inactivates all four PAD subtypes by covalently modifying an active site cysteine crucial for enzymatic activity, with kinact/KI values of 2,800, 380, 170, and 3,000 M^-1min^-1. Additionally, F-amidine demonstrates cytotoxicity against HL-60, MCF-7, and HT-29 cancer cell lines, with IC50s of 0.5, 0.5, and 1 μM, respectively.
