DSPE-PEG(2000)-TCO is a polyethylene glycol-modified derivative of DSPE for preparing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), whose TCO moiety undergoes bioorthogonal IEDDA reactions with triazine rings.
1-Acetylferrocene, an organoiron compound with the formula Fe, consists of ferrocene substituted by an acetyl group on one of the cyclopentadienyl rings. It is an orange, air-stable solid and is soluble in organic solvents.
PD 122860 is a dihydropyridine with calcium channel blocking and sodium channel stimulating properties. In the rat heart, PD 122860 increased left ventricular contractility, decreased coronary resistance and altered the shape of the electrocardiogram T-wa
Dactylocyclines are novel tetracycline derivatives produced by Dactylosporangium SP. The fermentation of Dactylosporangium sp. (ATCC 53693) produced a mixture of tetracycline derivatives, from which several related tetracycline glycosides, known as rings,
Nutlin-3 is an activator of p53 that functions by inhibiting the interaction of p53 with MDM2, a negative regulator of p53 activity. Caylin-1 is a nutlin-3 analog which contains chlorine substituents at the 3 and 4 positions on two of the phenyl rings rather than a single 4-chloro as seen in nutlin-3. At high concentrations, caylin-1 inhibits the growth of HCT116 cells with an IC50 value of approximately 7 μM, making it about 7-fold less potent than nutlin-3 in the same assay. Interestingly, at concentrations at or below 1 μM, caylin-1 promotes the growth of HCT116 cells approximately 20% compared to untreated cells. The mechanism of the growth promoting properties of caylin-1 have not yet been elucidated.
Nutlin-3 is an activator of p53 that functions by inhibiting the interaction of p53 with MDM2, a negative regulator of p53 activity. Caylin-2 is a nutlin-3 analog in which trifluoromethyl groups have been substituted for chlorine on the 2 phenyl rings. At high concentrations, caylin-2 inhibits the growth of HCT116 cells with an IC50 of approximately 8 μM, making it about 10-fold less potent than nutlin-3. Interestingly, at concentrations between 5-100 nM, caylin-2 promotes the growth of HCT116 cells approximately 40% compared to untreated cells. The mechanism of the growth promoting properties of caylin-2 have not yet been elucidated.
Thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP-14) is a 14-amino acid peptide agonist of the α-thrombin receptor. It induces aggregation of washed platelets as well as platelets in citrated and hirudin plasma. TRAP-14 (100 μM) increases the cytosolic calcium concentration in isolated guinea pig pulmonary smooth muscle cells 5-fold over baseline. It increases pulmonary arterial pressure in isolated guinea pig lung when used at a concentration of 1 μM, which is comparable to the effect induced by 10 nM α-thrombin. TRAP-14 also induces contraction of isolated rat aortic rings and increases endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in a dose-dependent manner, an effect that is reversed by the ETA antagonist BQ-123 and the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NNA .
