Sacubitril/Valsartan ameliorates diabetic cardiomyopathy by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Tranilast (MK-341) acts as an anti-atopic agent. Tranilast suppresses production of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2, IC₅₀= 0.1 mM). Tranilast sodium exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Tranilast sodium antagonizes angiotensin II and inhibits its biological effects in vascular smooth muscle cells.

PF-04418948, a chemical probe, is an orally active, potent and selective prostaglandin EP₂ receptor antagonist with an IC₅₀ of 16 nM.

Triamcinolone acetonide inhibits basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) induced proliferation of retinal endothelial cells. Triamcinolone acetonide reduces chondrocyte viability and leads to cartilage destruction. Triamcinolone acetonide activates macrophage with anti-inflammatory characteristics. Triamcinolone acetonide can be used in the study of diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Osthole (Osthol) is a natural antihistamine alternative. Osthole may be a potential inhibitor of histamine H₁ receptor activity. Osthole also suppresses the secretion of HBV in cells.

Icatibant (HOE-140) is a potent and specific peptide antagonist of bradykinin B2 receptor with IC₅₀ and K_i of 1.07 nM and 0.798 nM respectively.

AZD8797 (KAND567) is an allosteric non-competitive and orally active antagonist of the human CX3CR1 receptor; antagonizes CX3CR1 and CXCR2 with K_is of 3.9 and 2800 nM, respectively.

Oxytocin (α-Hypophamine) acetate is a pleiotropic, hypothalamic peptide known for facilitating parturition, lactation, and prosocial behaviors. Oxytocin acetate can function as a stress-coping molecule with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and protective effects especially in the face of adversity or trauma.

Loratadine (SCH-29851) is a selective inverse peripheral histamine H1-receptor agonist with an IC50 of >32 μM. Loratadine has anti-dengue-virus (DENV) activity. Loratadine can inhibit immunologic release of inflammatory mediators.

11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11-KDHT; 5α-Dihydro-11-keto testosterone) is an endogenous steroid and a metabolite of 11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione. 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone is an active androgen and is also a potent androgen receptor (AR) agonist with a K_i of 20.4 nM and an EC₅₀ of 1.35 nM for human AR. 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone drives gene regulation, protein expression and cell growth in androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells.

Xanthine oxidase, Microorganism (XO) is a xanthine oxidoreductase enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine, and further catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid.

SDMA (Symmetric dimethylarginine) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity. SDMA, a novel kidney biomarker, permits earlier diagnosis of kidney disease than traditional creatinine testing.

Dinoprost (Prostaglandin F2α) is an orally active, potent prostaglandin F (PGF) receptor (FP receptor) agonist. Dinoprost is a luteolytic hormone produced locally in the endometrial luminal epithelium and corpus luteum (CL). Dinoprost plays a key role in the onset and progression of labour.

IU1 is a selective, reversible USP14 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 4-5 μM. IU1 binds USP14’s catalytic cleft to block deubiquitinase activity. IU1 induces calpain-dependent Tau cleavage, causes ATP deficits, reduces E1~Ub thioester levels and 26S proteasome assembly. IU1 enhances 26S proteasome chymotrypsin-like activity, modulates LC3B-dependent autophagy flux, reduces cancer cell proliferation and migration, and blocks G0/G1 to S phase cell cycle transition in follicular thyroid cancer cells. IU1 activates autophagy-lysosomal and ubiquitin-proteasome pathways, triggers apoptosis, and reduces cervical cancer cell growth. IU1 enhances degradation of proteasome substrates linked to neurodegenerative disease, accelerates oxidized protein degradation, and increases oxidative stress resistance. IU1 can be used for the research of Alzheimer’s disease, follicular thyroid cancer, ischemic stroke, cervical cancer, and neurodegenerative disease.

Giredestrant (GDC-9545) is an orally active, full, selective Estrogen receptor α (ERα) degrader and antagonist with a DC₅₀ of 0.03 nM. Giredestrant promotes the degradation of ERα protein, including the ESR1^Y537S mutant ERα. Giredestrant reduces uterine wet weight in immature rats and induces a low cuboidal phenotype in their endometrial epithelium. Giredestrant induces tumor regression in both ESR1^Y537S mutant and wild-type ERα tumor models. Giredestrant can be used for the research of ER⁺ breast cancer.

Estradiol (Standard) is the analytical standard of Estradiol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Estradiol (β-Estradiol) is a steroid hormone and the major female sex hormone. Estradiol can up-regulate the expression of neural markers of human endometrial stem cells (hEnSCs) and promote their neural differentiation. Estradiol can be used for the research of cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and neural tissue engineering.
