Quoromycin is a novel antivirulence agent against Vibrio vulnificus, inhibiting the quorum-sensing signaling pathway by controlling the DNA-binding affinity of SmcR and thus effectively alleviating the virulence of V. vulnificus in vitro and in vivo.
Gemfibrozil-d6 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of gemfibrozil by GC- or LC-MS. Gemfibrozil is a peroxisome proliferator-activated reporter α and PPARγ agonist. In vivo, gemfibrozil reduces serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL levels in a rat model of high-cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemia. Gemfibrozil reduces atherosclerotic plaque area, superoxide production, and expression of the genes encoding the NF-κB subunit p65 and chemokine (C-C) motif ligand 2 (CCL2) in ApoE-/- mice. Formulations containing gemfibrozil have been used in the treatment of high cholesterol.
