Heparin cofactor II precursor (SERPIND1) fragment [Homo sapiens] is a peptide with the sequence H2N-Phe-Thr-Val-Asp-Arg- Pro-Phe-Leu-Phe-Leu-Ile-Tyr-Glu-His-Arg-OH, MW=1953.25.
Maleimido-tri(ethylene glycol)-propionic acid is a cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Maleimido-tri(ethylene glycol)-propionic acid is used for the preparation of neolymphostin-based ADC precursors for site-spec
Cycloate is a herbicide. It inhibits the biosynthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids, which is the essential constituents of plant suberin and waxes. Fatty acids also serve as precursors of aliphatic carbon chains in resorcinolic lipids.
HPI-1 (hydrate) is a Hedgehog (Hh) pathway inhibitor that suppresses signaling through Sonic Hh (IC50= 1.5 μM) without significantly affecting Wnt signaling (IC50≥ 30 μM).1HPI-1 suppresses Hh activation induced by loss of Suppressor of Fused or by Gli overexpression, suggesting action at posttranslational modification of Gli protein or at the interaction of Gli with a co-factor.1HPI-1 (hydrate) also inhibits signaling through the oncogenic Smoothened (Smo) mutant SmoM2 in neuron precursors, preventing cell proliferation.1 1.Hyman, J.M., Firestone, A.J., Heine, V.M., et al.Small-molecule inhibitors reveal multiple strategies for Hedgehog pathway blockadeProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America106(33)14132-14137(2009)
Concanamycin B is a macrolide antibiotic that selectively inhibits vacuolar type H+-ATPases, also known as V-ATPases (IC50 = 5 nM). In this way, it blocks the acidification of vacuolar organelles as well as early to late endosomal transport. Concanamycin B interferes with bone resorption and maturation of CD8 T lymphocytes. It also prevents processing of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II precursors in human B cells, inhibiting the expression of MHC class II molecules on the cell surface.
Steryl glucosides are neutral glycolipids commonly found in plant cell membranes and vegetable oils that contain a glucose moiety conjugated to a sterol lipid. They function as glucose donors in the biosynthesis of glucocerebrosides in plant microsomes and are metabolic precursors to acylated esterified steryl glucosides. Steryl glucosides are the major component of filter- and engine-damaging precipitates formed during biodiesel production from transesterification of vegetable oils. This product contains a mixture of steryl glucosides.
N-Acylated ethanolamines (NAE) are naturally-occurring lipids that have diverse bioactivities. The different types of NAE can be derived from glycerophospho-linked precursors by the activity of glycerophosphodiesterase 1 (GDE1). Glycerophospho-N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine is the precursor of arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA), also known as anandamide. AEA is an endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter that binds to both central cannabinoid (CB1) and peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptors. It inhibits the specific binding of [3H]-HU-243 to synaptosomal membranes with a Ki value of 52 nM, compared to 46 nM for δ9-THC.
Galactosylcerebrosides are glycosphingolipids that contain a galactose attached to a ceramide acylated with a hydroxy or non-hydroxy fatty acid. They are metabolic precursors to sulfatides , found primarily in nerve tissues, and are the main glycosphingolipids in the central nervous system. Galactosylcerebrosides are involved in a multitude of cellular processes including cell agglutination, cellular signaling in glycosynapses, cellular development, and activation of T cells. They accumulate in globoid cells in the brain of patients with Krabbe disease, a disorder characterized by a deficiency in galactosylcerebrosidase activity. This product is a mixture of isolated bovine hydroxy galactosylcerebrosides.

Sphingosines are long-chain base precursors of cellular sphingolipids used directly in the synthesis of ceramide, which in combination with sialic acid forms ganglioside. Sphingosine can exist in four stereoisomers, however only sphingosine occurs naturally. Compared to other sphingolipids throughout the body, which are predominantly composed of C-18 sphingosine, only central nervous system (CNS) gangliosides contain significant amounts of sphingosine. The concentration of sphingosine within mammalian brain gangliosides apparently increases with developmental maturation. Furthermore, the ratio of C-18 to C-20 sphingosine in the brain is thought to be related to some nervous system degeneration processes.
