VUN 00829, also known as N-(m-PEG4)-N'-(PEG4-acid)-Cy5 is a near infrared (NIR) fluorescent Cy 5 labeled PEG derivative containing free terminal carboxyl acid. Terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of of activators (e.g. EDC, or DCC) to form a stable amide bond. The hydophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. Cy5 labeled PEG derivative can be easily traced from its blue color and strong fluorescence. This product has no formal name at the moment. For the convenience of communication, a temporary code name was therefore proposed according to MedKoo Chemical Nomenclature (see web page: https: www.medkoo.com page naming).
12-Bromododecanoic acid, a halogenated derivative of lauric acid, serves in the synthesis of clickable myristic acid derivatives and functions as a model fatty acid ligand for elucidating the X-ray crystal structure of bovine β-lactoglobulin-ligand complexes. This compound, at a concentration of 10 µg ml, has been shown to diminish virion DNA in the culture supernatant of primary hepatocytes from a duckling model of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and exhibits inhibitory activity against HIV replication in CEM-SS T cells with an EC50 value of 38 µM.
