Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate) has highly potent antimicrobial activity, and inhibits growth of a variety of microorganisms, among them antibiotic-resistant strains.

ATP disodium salt (Adenosine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt) is a central component of energy storage and metabolism in vivo, provides the metabolic energy to drive metabolic pumps and serves as a coenzyme in cells. ATP disodium salt is an important endogenous signaling molecule in immunity and inflammation.

Pronase E (Activity ≥ 4000 U/mg) is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes that is obtained from Streptomyces griseus and could digest protein into individual amino acids.

i-Inositol (myo-Inositol) is a compound of sugar alcohols. i-Inositol is involved in a series of biological processes such as insulin signal transduction and cytoskeletal transduction. i-Inositol mainly exists in glial cells and plays an osmotic role.

Bradykinin is an effective endothelium-dependent vasodilator that can lower blood pressure. Bradykinin can induce contraction of bronchial and intestinal non-vascular smooth muscle, increase vascular permeability, and participate in the mechanism of pain.

Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) disodium is a critical nucleotide and regulator of cellular metabolism. Guanosine triphosphate disodium promotes ribosomal DNA localization, pre-rRNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis by binding to RNA polymerase I and GPN proteins (GPN1/3). Guanosine triphosphate disodium links MYC-dependent ribosome biogenesis to nucleotide sufficiency, acts as a metabolic gatekeeper supporting protein synthesis, DNA/RNA synthesis and cellular signal transduction, while also participating in the physiological activities of pancreatic β-cells and serving as an oxidative substrate for reactive oxygen species. In small cell lung cancer with high MYC expression, Guanosine triphosphate disodium accumulates through the IMPDH-driven synthetic pathway, thereby affecting apoptosis and mitotic processes. Guanosine triphosphate disodium is used in the research of small cell lung cancer, hepatoblastoma and cellular metabolism.

Riboflavin, an orally active and easily absorbed micronutrient, is a precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which serve as coenzymes for numerous enzymatic reactions and perform key metabolic functions by mediating the transfer of electrons in biological oxidation-reduction reaction.

Guanidine hydrochloride (Guanidinium chloride) is a strong protein denaturant. Guanidine hydrochloride causes proteins to assume a random coil conformation.

Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox cofactor, more specifically a prosthetic group of a protein, involved in several important enzymatic reactions in metabolism.

L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate magnesium (2-Phospho-L-ascorbic acid magnesium) is a long-acting vitamin C derivative that can stimulate collagen formation and expression. L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate magnesium (2-Phospho-L-ascorbic acid magnesium) can be used as a culture medium supplement for the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells (hASCs). L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate magnesium (2-Phospho-L-ascorbic acid magnesium) increases alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and expression of runx2A in hASCs during the osteogenic differentiation.

Lysozyme from chicken egg white is a bactericidal enzyme, and it lyses gram-positive bacteria. Lysozyme from chicken egg white can also be used for the research of HIV infection and pulmonary emphysema.

Streptomycin (Agrept) is an effective antibiotic against M. tuberculosis, is used for the research of tuberculosis (TB). Streptomycin also is a bacteriocidal agent that can be used for the research of a number of bacterial infections. Streptomycin can bind strongly to nucleic acids, interferes and blocks protein synthesis while permitting continued RNA and DNA synthesis. Streptomycin, as a common antibiotic used in culture media, also is a blocker of stretch-activated and mechanosensitive ion channels in neurons and cardiac myocytes .

Glycerol is used in sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) disodium salt, a purine nucleoside diphosphate, is interconverted to guanosine by the action of exonucleotidase and phosphorylation of nucleoside to guanine. Guanosine 5'-diphosphate disodium salt activates adenosine 5'-triphosphate-sensitive K⁺ channel and is used to study the kinetics and characteristics of GTPases such as those associated with G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Guanosine 5'-diphosphate disodium salt is a potential iron mobilizer, which prevents the Hepcidin (HY-P70400)-ferroportin interaction and modulates the interleukin-6 (IL-6)/stat-3 pathway. Elevated levels of guanosine 5’-diphosphate are associated with the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. Guanosine 5'-diphosphate disodium salt is promising for the research of inflammation, such as anemia of inflammation (AI).

Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that can pass through the blood-brain barrier. Vitamin B12 plays a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. Vitamin B12 is beneficial for many inflammatory diseases and also provides protection in oxidative-stress-associated pathologies.

Uric acid sodium is an orally active oxygen free radical scavenger that helps maintain stable blood pressure and combat oxidative stress. Uric acid sodium can scavenge ROS, such as singlet oxygen and peroxynitrite, and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Uric acid sodium can be used as a modeling agent in research on hyperuricemia-induced hypertension models.
