Netzahualcoyonol has antibacterial and cytotoxic activity. Bioactivity-directed separation led to the isolation of tingenone and Netzahualcoyonol as biologically active materials.
α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) is a saccharide comprised of six glucose subunits linked by α-1,4 bonds, which results in a cone-shaped molecule.1It contains a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior, which allow it to form inclusion complexes with wide variety of molecules, conferring enhanced solubility and stabilization to the molecules. α-CD has commonly been used in the separation and purification of chemicals on an industrial scale.1,2Formulations containing α-CD have been used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the physical and chemical properties of compounds, the food industry as flavor carriers and stabilizers in processed and ultra-processed foods and certain beverages, as well as in other industrial applications. 1.Li, S., and Purdy, W.C.Cyclodextrins and their applications in analytical chemistryChem.

Gel filtration medium G-100, a substance designed for protein purification, enables the separation and purification of proteins through gel filtration.
ZK-Thiazolidinone, also known as TAL, is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of PLK1. In vitro, ZK-Thiazolidinone counteracts the role of Plk1 in previously established functions, notably, sister chromatid separation, centrosome maturation, and bipolar spindle assembly. In vivo, ZK-Thiazolidinone selectively inhibits PLK1 and causes a prometaphase-like mitotic (G2–M) arrest. ZK-Thiazolidinone inhibits human PLK1 (IC50, 19± 12 nM) and various human and mouse tumor cell lines (IC50, 0.2–1.3 μM). ZK-Thiazolidinone impairs centrosome maturation.
DC4 crosslinker, an 18Å mass spectrometry-cleavable crosslinking reagent, features two intrinsic positive charges facilitating the fragmentation of cross-linked peptides into their constituent peptides through collision-induced dissociation or in-source decay. Initial fragmentation leads to cleavage adjacent to the positive charges, enabling the identification of cross-linked peptides as pairs of ions with precise mass separation. Furthermore, the resultant intact peptide fragments can undergo further fragmentation, producing a sequence of b- and y-ions for peptide identification.
