Ceftaroline fosamil (TAK-599) inner salt, a cephalosporin derivative, is an N-phosphono prodrug of anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) T-91825. Ceftaroline fosamil inner salt can be used for the research of MRSA infection.
Cefepime dihydrochloride, a broad-spectrum fourth-generation cephalosporin, binds and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall.
Aprofene (Aprophen) is an antagonist of muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It may be used in the therapy of peptic ulcers, endarteritis (inflammation of the inner shell of the artery), cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), and sp
Ganglioside GQ1b is a tetrasialoganglioside that contains two sialic acid residues linked to an inner galactose unit. It stimulates phosphorylation of several ecto-type protein kinase substrates on the surface of GOTO human neuroblastoma cells when used at a concentration of 5 nM. Ganglioside GQ1b promotes differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to neuronal precursor and glial cells via activation of the ERK1/2 pathway. It also induces differentiation of murine keratinocytes through phosphoinositide turnover. Ganglioside GQ1b mixture contains ganglioside GQ1b molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones.
Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring phospholipid that comprises 2-10% of total phospholipids in mammals and is enriched in the central nervous system, particularly the retina. It is anionic and found mainly on the inner leaflet of the cell membrane. It is biosynthesized from phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine by phosphatidyl synthase 1 (PSS1) or PSS2, respectively, in the endoplasmic reticulum and can be reversibly converted back by the same enzymes. It can also be irreversibly converted to phosphatidylethanolamine by phosphatidylserine decarboxylase in the mitochondria. Phosphatidylserine binds to T cell immunoglobulin mucin type 1 (TIM-1) and TIM-4 receptors as well as brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1), leading to anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic effects. It is also a cofactor involved in the activation of various signaling pathways through activation of protein kinase C, neutral sphingomyelinase, and c-Raf-1 protein kinase among others. Phosphatidylserine is externalized during apoptosis by scramblases in the plasma membrane as a signal for phagocytes to engulf the cell. Phosphatidylserines (bovine) is a mixture of bovine phosphatidylserines containing fatty acids with variable chain lengths at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions.
4-carboxy TEMPO is a nitroxide and spin label. Nitroxides such as 4-carboxy TEMPO react with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and can be used with electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to monitor ROS production in vivo., It has also been used to study flavin-photosensitized damage in inner mitochondrial membranes.
