SEW2871 is an orally active, potent, highly selective S1P1 (sphingosine-1-phosphate type 1 receptor) agonist, with an EC₅₀ of 13.8 nM. SEW2871 activates ERK, Akt, and Rac signaling pathways and induces S1P1 internalization and recycling. SEW2871 reduces lymphocyte numbers in blood. SEW2871 can be used for the research of diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, liver fibrosis, and inflammatory responses.

AMP-PNP (Adenylyl imidodiphosphate) lithium hydrate is a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog. AMP-PNP lithium hydrate binds to ATP binding sites competely but is not hydrolyzed by enzymes, providing stable experimental conditions for studying ATP-dependent processes. AMP-PNP lithium hydrate can also be used to study enzyme activity, kinase regulation, DNA/RNA metabolism, ion channel function, and protein complex assembly.

GLP-1(9-36)amide is a major metabolite of glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide formed by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). GLP-1(9-36)amide acts as an antagonist to the human pancreatic GLP-1 receptor.

L-Phenylalanine-d₅ is the deuterium labeled L-Phenylalanine. L-Phenylalanine ((S)-2-Amino-3-phenylpropionic acid) is an essential amino acid isolated from Escherichia coli. L-Phenylalanine is a α2δ subunit of voltage-dependent Ca+ channels antagonist with a K_i of 980 nM. L-phenylalanine is a competitive antagonist for the glycine- and glutamate-binding sites of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) (KB of 573 μM ) and non-NMDARs, respectively. L-Phenylalanine is widely used in the production of food flavors and pharmaceuticals.

Aspirin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Aspirin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic acid) is an orally active, potent and irreversible inhibitor of cyclooxygenase COX-1 and COX-2, with IC₅₀ values of 5 and 210 μg/mL, respectively. Aspirin induces apoptosis. Aspirin inhibits the activation of NF-κB. Aspirin also inhibits platelet prostaglandin synthetase, and can prevent coronary artery and cerebrovascular thrombosis.

Melanotan (MT)-II is a melanocortin receptor agonist. Melanotan (MT)-II activates melanocortin receptor 3 and melanocortin receptor 4, and stimulates the release of central endogenous oxytocin. Melanotan (MT)-II reverses recognition memory impairment, increased anxiety levels and reduced exploratory tendency in zebrafish exposed to short-term high-fat diet. Melanotan (MT)-II improves impaired social behavior indicators in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder. Melanotan (MT)-II induces weight loss, reduces food intake and exerts anorectic effects. Melanotan (MT)-II increases intracavernous pressure and erectile activity in brown rats. Melanotan (MT)-II can be used in studies related to memory impairment, anxiety, reduced exploratory behavior, autism spectrum disorder, obesity and erectile dysfunction.
