STING18 is a competitive ligand of stimulator of interferon genes (STING; IC50 = 0.068 μM in a radioligand binding assay).1 It inhibits cGAMP-induced IFN-β production (IC50 = 11 μM) but does not stimulate IFN-β production (EC50 = >30 μM) in THP-1 cells. |1.

17(R)-Protectin D1 is an aspirin-triggered epimer of the specialized pro-resolving mediator protectin D1 .1It decreases leukotriene B4-induced transendothelial migration of human polymorphonuclear (PMN) neutrophils when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 nM. 17(R)-Protectin D1 (0.01-10 ng) reduces the recruitment of neutrophils in a mouse model of TNF-α-induced peritonitis. 1.Serhan, C.N., Fredman, G., Yang, R., et al.Novel proresolving aspirin-triggered DHA pathwayChem.

17R(18S)-EpETE is an oxylipin and a cytochrome P450 metabolite of eicosapentaenoic acid .1,217R(18S)-EpETE is an activator of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channels, increasing the potassium current amplitude by 15-fold in isolated rat cerebral artery vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) at +60 mV when used at a concentration of 50 nM.2It has negative chronotropic effects in isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs; EC50= ~1-2 nM) and prevents calcium-induced increases in the spontaneous beating of NRCMs.3,4 1.Schwarz, D., Kisselev, P., Ericksen, S.S., et al.Arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acid metabolism by human CYP1A1: Highly steroselective formation of 17(R), 18(S)-epoxyeicosatetraenoic acidBiochem.

Endosulfan I is an organochlorine insecticide and a stereoisomer of endosulfan II . It is active against a variety of insects, including bollworms (LD50 = 0.63 mg/g). Endosulfan I binds to GABA receptors in rat brain membranes with an IC50 value of 30 nM and is toxic to rats (LD50 = 18 mg/kg).
