Fmoc-Glu-OMe promotes wound healing in rat models and eliminates bacteria in MRSA-infected rat wound models. Fmoc-Glu-OMe can be used in studies related to wound infections and MRSA-infected wounds.

Defensin HNP-1 human is a type of human neutrophil peptide (HNPs). Defensin HNP-1 human possesses immunomodulatory functions and can delay the apoptosis of neutrophils. Defensin HNP-1 human inhibits DNA/RNA/protein synthesis and interferes with metabolic pathways, thus exhibiting broad antibacterial activity. Defensin HNP-1 human has direct inactivation effects on HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2, CMV, influenza virus, etc. Defensin HNP-1 human has antileishmanial activity. Defensin HNP-1 human is involved in endothelial cell dysfunction during the early development of atherosclerosis.

Ristomycin sulfate is an antibacterial antibiotic and platelet aggregation inducer. Ristomycin sulfate interacts with the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus of bacterial cell wall precursors to regulate bacterial cell wall synthesis. Ristomycin sulfate induces platelet aggregation in vitro and inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Ristomycin sulfate serves as an in vitro diagnostic compound for detecting von Willebrand factor activity. Ristomycin sulfate is applicable to research related to von Willebrand disease and Bernard-Soulier syndrome.

Bifenazate is a carbazate acaricide that control 100% of mites at a concentration of 25 ppm. Bifenazate is a positive allosteric modulator of GABA receptor. Bifenazate is the inhibitor for the mitochondrial electron transport chain complex III.
