MBX2546 is an Influenza A Virus Fusion Inhibitor. MBX2546 binds to HA and inhibits HA-mediated membrane fusion. Both binding and stabilization of HA by MBX2546 are required for the inhibition of viral infection. Mutations in MBX2546-resistant influenza A
COX-2 5-LOX-IN-1 (compound 3a), a benzothiophen-2-yl pyrazole carboxylic acid derivative, is a potent and dual inhibitor of COX-2 5-LOX. It exhibits superior analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties compared to Celecoxib and Indomethacin. COX-2 5-LOX-IN-1 displays strong inhibitory activity against COX-1, COX-2, and 5-LOX, with IC50 values of 12.13 μM, 0.4 μM, and 4.96 μM, respectively [1].
Mn(III)TMPyP is a manganese-porphyrin which acts as a superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic and peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst. SOD mimetics described to date are unstable and are capable of catalyzing undesired side-reactions in addition to the dismutation of the superoxide radical (O2-). Mn(III)TMPyP is an SOD mimetic with increased stability to pH and hydrogen peroxide. The rate constant for superoxide dismutation and peroxynitrite decomposition are 3.9 x 107 M-1s-1 and ~2 x 106 M-1s-1, respectively. Mn(III)TMPyP protected and enhanced the growth of SOD E. coli with a doubling time of 60 minutes (as compared to 240 minutes of the control) at 25 µM.

Palmitic acid-13C (C1, C2, C3, and C4 labeled) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Palmitic acid is a common 16-carbon saturated fat that represents 10-20% of human dietary fat intake and comprises approximately 25 and 65% of human total plasma lipids and saturated fatty acids, respectively.1,2Acylation of palmitic acid to proteins facilitates anchoring of membrane-bound proteins to the lipid bilayer and trafficking of intracellular proteins, promotes protein-vesicle interactions, and regulates various G protein-coupled receptor functions.1Red blood cell palmitic acid levels are increased in patients with metabolic syndrome compared to patients without metabolic syndrome and are also increased in the plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes compared to individuals without diabetes.3,4 1.Fatima, S., Hu, X., Gong, R.-H., et al.Palmitic acid is an intracellular signaling molecule involved in disease developmentCell.
