This alpha-helical antimicrobial OV-1 ovispirin peptide derived from SMAP29 peptide.It was found to inhibit several antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains including mucoid and nonmucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
1a,1b-dihomo Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a rare polyunsaturated fatty acid first identified in extracts of sheep vesicular gland microsomes, known to contain COX, incubated with adrenic acid . 1a,1b-dihomo PGE2 has also been identified in conditioned media of RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated with endotoxin and arachidonic acid . This product is thought to be produced by elongation of AA to adrenic acid, which is then metabolized sequentially by COX and PGE synthase.
8(E),10(E),12(Z)-Octadecatrienoic acid is a conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) that has been found inC. officinalisseed oil and has anticancer activity.1,2,3It inhibits the growth of Caco-2 cells when used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 50 μM.28(E),10(E),12(Z)-Octadecatrienoic acid (10 μM) induces formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and apoptosis in DLD-1 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.3It also inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis in sheep vesicular gland microsomes (IC50= 31 μM).4 1.Crombie, L., and Holloway, S.J.The biosynthesis of calendic acid, octadeca-(8E,10E, 12Z)-trienoic, acid, by developing marigold seeds: origins of (E,E,Z) and (Z,E,Z) conjugated triene acids in higher plantsJ.

Albendazole-d7 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of albendazole by GC- or LC-MS. Albendazole is an orally bioavailable benzimidazole anthelmintic that is active against a variety of helminths, including liver flukes, tapeworms, and roundworms. It eliminates Trichostrongylus in the fourth stomach of cattle and sheep when orally administered at doses ranging from 2.5 to 10 mg kg as well as other species in the fourth stomach and the small and large intestine. Albendazole (0.05% in the diet) protects mice against lethal infection with A. suum larvae. It also inhibits growth of HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells (IC50 = 0.12 µM), halts the cell cycle at the G2 M phase, and induces apoptosis. In an HT-29 mouse xenograft model, it inhibits peritoneal tumor growth when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 150 mg kg but not when administered orally. Albendazole inhibits mammalian tubulin polymerization and inhibits binding of [3H]mebendazole t......
Betamethasone 21-phosphate is a synthetic glucocorticoid.1It prevents increases in macrophage and eosinophil numbers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and decreases in blood leukocyte numbers in a guinea pig model of parainfluenza-3 viral infection when administered at a dose of 8 mg/kg but does not prevent airway hyperresponsiveness after infection.2Betamethasone 21-phosphate inhibits cell infiltration into the aqueous humor in a rat model of endotoxin-induced uveitis when administered topically or subcutaneously at doses of 0.01-1% or 1 mg/kg, respectively.3It increases maximal lung pressure volume curves in fetal sheep when administered to pregnant ewes at 0.75 gestation at doses of 80 and 170 μg/kg.1Betamethasone 21-phosphate increases body weight, impairs learning and memory, increases anxiolytic behavior, and reduces hippocampal neurogenesis in CD-1 mice but reduces body weight and increases neurogenesis with no effect on anxiety in high-anxiety DBA/2 mice when administered at a dose of approximately 25 mg/kg per day in the drinking water for seven weeks.4Formulations containing betamethasone 12-phosphate and betamethasone acetate have been used in the treatment of severe allergic conditions and a variety of immune-related conditions. 1.Loehle, M., Schwab, M., Kadner, S., et al.Dose-response effects of betamethasone on maturation of the fetal sheep lungAm.
