Fetuin, Fetal Bovine Serum is a glycoprotein weighing 64 kDa that is secreted by the liver and obtained from fetal bovine serum. It acts as an inhibitor of trypsin activity and facilitates cellular attachment, growth, and differentiation.
O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin is a metabolite of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and COX inhibitor indomethacin .1It is formed from indomethacin in isolated rabbit hepatocytes. O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin (600 μM) decreases the viability of HL-60 leukemia cells when cultured with glucose oxidase.2It has also been used in the synthesis of prostaglandin D2receptor antagonists.3 1.Evans, M.A., Papazafiratou, C., Bhat, R., et al.Indomethacin metabolism in isolated neonatal and fetal rabbit hepatocytesPediatr.

DPC-AJ1951 is a peptide agonist of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) PTH-related peptide receptor (PPR; EC50 = 0.15 nM in HEK293 cells expressing human PPR). It induces cAMP production in SAOS-2 and UMR106 cells that endogenously express human and rat PPR, respectively (EC50s = 2.2 and 1.1 nM, respectively). DPC-AJ1915 stimulates osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in fetal rat long-bone explant cultures and increases collagen synthesis and cell proliferation in neonatal mouse parietal bone explants. In vivo, DPC-AJ1951 normalizes serum calcium levels in thyroidparathyroidectomized rats.
Ansatrienin B is an ansamycin antibiotic and antifungal agent first isolated from S. collinus and S. rishiriensis., In fetal rat long bones, it is an inhibitor of parathyroid hormone-induced calcium release (IC50 = 21 nM), which is a measure of bone resorption, and pp60c-src kinase (IC50 = 50 nM). It is an inhibitor of translation at the protein synthesis stage by specific inhibition of L-leucine incorporation (IC50 = 58 nM in A549 cells). It also inhibits TNF-α-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; IC50 = 300 nM). Early in vitro studies showed that ansatrienin B potentiates the chemotherapeutic action of 5-fluorouracil , cisplatin , bleomycin , mitomycin C , and 6-mercaptopurine. Ansatrienin B is a hydroquinone form of ansatrienin A .
1-Palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE, a phospholipid comprising palmitic acid (at the sn-1 position) and docosahexaenoic acid (at the sn-2 position), is present in the nucleus of mouse liver but absent from mitochondria. Notably, its levels in pre-term infant plasma are lower compared to those in maternal or fetal plasma.
