BIR1 is a balloon inducing reagent, which triggers a spontaneous self-organization process, leading to the formation of 3-D balloon like structure during hESC differentiation.
BIR2 is a balloon inducing reagent, which triggers a spontaneous self-organization process, leading to the formation of 3-D balloon like structure during hESC differentiation.
CAY10685 is a cell-active analog of the lysine acetyltransferase inhibitor CPTH2 that contains an alkyne moiety for use in click chemistry reactions. Its ability to inhibit N-acetyltransferase 10 activity has been used to modulate chromatin organization in order to study changes in nuclear architecture associated with cancer and certain laminopathies.
Microtubule stabilizing agent. Potent inhibitor of cellular proliferation in cancer cell lines (IC50 reported to be 3-30 nM, dependent on cell line used). Causes cells to arrest in the prometaphase of the cell cycle, prevents formation of bipolar spindle and increases kinetochore tension in preformed spindles. Pryor et al (2002) The microtubule stabilizing agent laulimalide does not bind in the taxoid site, kills cells resistant to PacT. and epothilones, and may not require its epoxide moiety for activity.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities including cell proliferation, survival, migration, cytoskeletal organization, and morphogenesis. It exerts its activity by binding to five distinct G protein-coupled receptors, S1P1 EDG-1, S1P2 EDG-5, S1P3 EDG-3, S1P4 EDG-6, and S1P5 EDG-8. W140 is an inactive enantiomer of W146, a selective S1P1 antagonist (Ki = 77 nM), that binds to the S1P1 receptor with a Ki of 4.6 μM (2a = W146; 2b = W140 in supplemental material). It exhibits no biological activity in vivo and can therefore serve as an effective control compound for experiments involving W146.
Y27632 is a selective ROCK inhibitor, which inhibits ET-1-induced increases in natriuretic peptide production, cell size, protein synthesis, and myofibrillar organization. Y27632 prevents dimethylnitrosamine-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats, increases apoptosis and disrupts the actin cortical mat in embryonic avian corneal epithelium, affects initial heart myofibrillogenesis in cultured chick blastoderm, promotes the proliferation and cell cycle progression of cultured astrocyte from spinal cord.
Tridemorph is a sterol biosynthetic inhibitor. It is a fungicide used to control Erysiphe graminis. It was developed by BASF in the 1960s who use the trade name Calixin. The World Health Organization has categorized it as a Class II moderately hazardous pesticide because it is believed harmful if swallowed and can cause irritation to skin and eyes.
Lamin fragment has a peptide sequence of Lys-Ala-Gly-Gln-Val-Val-Thr-Ile-Trp. Lamin polypeptides have an almost complete α-helical conformation with multiple α-helical domains separated by non-α-helical linkers that are highly conserved in length and amin
