Nab-Paclitaxel (Nanoparticle albumin-bound Paclitaxel) is an albumin-bound nanoparticle formulation of Paclitaxel (HY-B0015). Nab-Paclitaxel is composed of albumin and the active pharmaceutical ingredient Paclitaxel, in which human albumin is used as an excipient to disperse and stabilize particles and carry the main drug. Nab-Paclitaxel is a solvent-free taxane with higher response rates and improved tolerability. Nab-Paclitaxel displays less toxicity and greater antitumor activity. Nab-Paclitaxel is more readily available for tumor cell uptake in three rhabdomyosarcoma, seven neuroblastoma cell lines, and one ostersarcoma cell line Nab-Paclitaxel can be studied in cancer research for example breast cancer and solid tumors. (The product specifications below only indicate the effective content of Paditaxel, the actual albumin quality depends on the batch; the ratio of each ingredient in this product is Paditaxel: albumin -1:7~1:11).

Cilengitide (EMD 121974) is an integrin (integrin) inhibitor with blood-brain barrier permeability, with IC₅₀ values against human targets as follows: 0.61 nM for αvβ3, 8.4 nM for αvβ5, 14.9 nM for α5β1, 5400 nM for αIIbβ3, 2050 nM for αvβ6, 2350 nM for αvβ8. Cilengitide inhibits the binding of integrins to vitronectin, fibronectin, fibrinogen and LAP (TGF-β), and serves as an internal standard for solid-phase integrin binding assays. Cilengitide inhibits tumor cell viability, induces apoptosis, reduces the phosphorylation levels of STAT3, AKT and mTOR, downregulates the expression of PD-L1, inhibits cell viability and angiogenesis, regulates anti-tumor immune responses and slows tumor growth. Cilengitide can be used in research related to glioblastoma, melanoma, advanced solid tumors and refractory brain tumors.
