Flupyradifurone is a systemic nAChR agonist that interferes with signal transduction in the central nervous system of sucking pests. Flupyradifurone can be used as a butenolide insecticide.

Chlorsulfuron is an acetolactate synthase inhibitor and selective systemic herbicide. Chlorsulfuron blocks the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids (valine and isoleucine), thereby inhibiting protein synthesis, cell growth, and cell division. Chlorsulfuron blocks G₁ and G₂ phase cell cycle progression in plant root tip cells without directly interfering with mitosis or DNA synthesis. Chlorsulfuron completely inhibits germination of non-target terrestrial plants and is highly toxic to aquatic macrophytes. Chlorsulfuron has low toxicity to mammals, birds and bees, and moderate toxicity to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Chlorsulfuron can be used in studies related to herbicides, plant cell cycles and ecotoxicology.

DUB-IN-3 (compound 22c) is a potent and selective inhibitor of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP8 with an IC₅₀ value of 0.56 μM. DUB-IN-3 is promising for research of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, viral infection and cardiovascular disease.

Sulfamethazine (Sulfadimidine) is a brain-penetrant sulfonamide antibiotic. Sulfamethazine inhibits bacterial growth by blocking the synthesis of folic acid. Sulfamethazine can be used for research on bacterial infections.

Fusidic acid sodium salt is an orally available antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by preventing the release of translation elongation factor G (EF-G) from ribosomes. Fusidic acid sodium salt inhibits the inhibitory and activating effects of interleukins IL-1 and IL-6 on glucose-induced insulin production and exhibits antidiabetic effects in a rat model. Fusidic acid sodium salt improves the symptoms of colitis in rats and inhibits the growth of Toxoplasma gondii and Listeria monocytogenes EGD in vitro, but not in mice.

N,N',N''-Triacetylchitotriose is a competitive Lysozyme inhibitor. N,N',N''-Triacetylchitotriose inhibits the activity of lysozyme. N,N',N''-Triacetylchitotriose reduces the fusion rate between lysozyme-conjugated liposomes and erythrocyte ghosts, and decreases the equilibrium fusion rate.

STh, an Escherichia coli heat-stable toxin, is a 19 amino acid polypeptide encompassing three disulfide bridges. STh is an antigen of interest in the search for a broad coverage enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) vaccine.

Indole (Standard) is the analytical standard of Indole. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Indole is an aromatic, heterocyclic, organic compound which widely distributed in the natural environment and can be produced by a variety of bacteria. Indole regulates various aspects of bacterial physiology, including spore formation, plasmid stability, resistance to drugs, biofilm formation, and virulence as an intercellular signal molecule.

Cefquinome sulfate is a broad-spectrum cephem antibiotic that has inhibitory effects on a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococci, Streptococci, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacteriaceae.

[10]-Shogaol is an orally active antioxidant. [10]-Shogaol can be extracted from ginger (Zingiber officinale). [10]-Shogaol1 inhibits COX-2 with an IC₅₀ value of 7.5 μM. [10]-Shogaol inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6). [10]-Shogaol inhibits NF-κB phosphorylation. [10]-Shogaol has anti-inflammatory effects. [10]-Shogaol has anticancer effects against Docetaxel (HY-B0011)-resistant prostate cancer. [10]-Shogaol exhibits larvicidal activity against L5 larvae of Angiostrongylus cantonensis.

Dapivirine (TMC120), the prototype of diarylpyrimidines (DAPY), is an orally active and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). Dapivirine (TMC120) binds directly to HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Dapivirine (TMC120) regulates autophagy and induced Akt, Bad and SAPK/JNK activations.

Potassium sorbate (Sorbic acid potassium) is an antibacterial preservative effective against most molds, yeasts, and some bacterial species. Potassium sorbate inhibits microbial growth. Potassium sorbate suppresses the activity of intestinal microorganisms in zebrafish, alters the composition of intestinal flora, and reduces the levels of intestinal immune biomarkers, including IgG, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Potassium sorbate can be used in research on the prevention and treatment of mold, yeast, and bacterial infections.

Oxytetracycline hydrochloride is an antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline class. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride potent inhibits Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride is a protein synthesis inhibitor and prevents the binding from aminoacil-tRNA to the complex m-ribosomal RNA. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride also possesses anti-HSV-1 activity.

Carboxin (Carboxine) is a systemic agricultural fungicide and seed protectant.

Cyclosporin A-d₄ (Cyclosporine A-d₄) is the deuterated-labeled Cyclosporin A (HY-B0579). Cyclosporin A (Cyclosporine A) is an immunosuppressant which binds to the cyclophilin and inhibits phosphatase activity of protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B/calcineurin) with an IC₅₀ of 5 nM. Cyclosporin A is a molecular glue, binds to cyclophilin and calcineurin, leading to inactivation of nuclear Factor of activated T Cells (NFAT) and a subsequent decrease in the immune response. Cyclosporin A also inhibits CD11a/CD18 adhesion.
