Valbenazine tosylate, the tosylate salt of valbenazine, is a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor with a Ki value of 150 nM while displaying no significant binding to VAMT1(Ki<10 μM).
FFN200 is a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) substrate that selectively traces monoamine exocytosis in both neuronal cell culture and brain tissue.
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.

FFN270 hydrochloride, a fluorescent tracer for norepinephrine and vesicular monoamine transporters, features dual resolved absorption/excitation peaks that vary with solvent pH (FFN270 ex: 320 nm or 365 nm, em: 475 nm). It serves as a ratiometric fluorescent pH-sensor, highlighting its utility in monitoring norepinephrine.
