Pexidartinib (PLX-3397) exhibits 10- to 100-fold selectivity for c-Kit and CSF1R over other related kinases. Pexidartinib (PLX-3397) induces cell apoptosis and has anti-tumor activity. Pexidartinib has limited permeability to the blood-brain barrier, primarily through ABCB1.

Oxidopamine (6-OHDA) hydrobromide is an antagonist of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Oxidopamine hydrobromide is a widely used neurotoxin and selectively destroys dopaminergic neurons. Oxidopamine hydrobromide promotes COX-2 activation, leading to PGE₂ synthesis and pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β secretion. Oxidopamine hydrobromide can be used for the research of Parkinson’s disease (PD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Oxidopamine (6-OHDA) hydrochloride is an antagonist of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Oxidopamine hydrochloride is a widely used neurotoxin and selectively destroys dopaminergic neurons. Oxidopamine hydrochloride promotes COX-2 activation, leading to PGE₂ synthesis and pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β secretion. Oxidopamine hydrochloride can be used for the research of Parkinson’s disease (PD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

PLX5622 is a highly selective brain penetrant and orally active CSF1R inhibitor (IC₅₀=0.016 μM; K_i=5.9 nM). PLX5622 allows for extended and specific microglial cells elimination, preceding and during pathology development. PLX5622 is an ideal choose for microglia function research in healthy or diseased states. PLX5622 has been verified by MedChemExpress, which demonstrates desirable microglia depletion efficiency in mice. PLX5622 is predominantly administered via ad libitum diets with a dose of 1200 ppm.

L-DOPA (Levodopa) is an orally active metabolic precursor of neurotransmitters dopamine. L-DOPA can cross the blood-brain barrier and is converted into dopamine in the brain. L-DOPA has anti-allodynic effects and the potential for Parkinson's disease.

PLX5622 in AIN-76A Diet (1200 ppm) contains 1200 mg of PLX5622 (HY-114153) per Kg of AIN-76 diet and it can be used for microglia clearance. PLX5622 in AIN-76A Diet (1200 ppm) is ideal choose for microglia function research in healthy/diseased states. PLX5622 in AIN-76A Diet (1200 ppm) has been verified by MedChemExpress (MCE).The color of PLX5622 in AIN-76A Diet (1200 ppm) provided by MCE is blue. Meanwhile, MCE will provide an equal amount of PLX5622-Free AIN-76A Diet (no added pigments) as a complimentary offering, which is used for the control group.

Haloperidol is a potent dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, widely used as an antipsychotic agent. Haloperidol can be used in the study of schizophrenia, tics in Tourette syndrome, mania in bipolar disorder, delirium, agitation, acute psychosis, and hallucinations from alcohol withdrawal.

Reserpine is an inhibitor of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2).

Lactacystin is a potent, orally active, irreversible, cell-permeable, selective 20S proteasome inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 4.8 μM). Lactacystin also inhibits the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin A. Lactacystin inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosisand cell cycle arrest, and has antiviral and antioxidative activity. Lactacystin induces neurite outgrowth and hypertension. Lactacystin has the potential for the research of cancer, Neurological Disease, hypertension and Malaria, and so on^{[2] [6]} .

Pexidartinib hydrochloride (PLX-3397 hydrochloride) is a potent, orally active, selective, and ATP-competitive colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R or M-CSFR) and c-Kit inhibitor, with IC₅₀s of 20 and 10 nM, respectively. Pexidartinib hydrochloride exhibits 10- to 100-fold selectivity for c-Kit and CSF1R over other related kinases. Pexidartinib hydrochloride induces cell apoptosis and has anti-cancer activity.

PLX5622 hemifumarate is a highly selective brain penetrant and orally active CSF1R inhibitor (IC₅₀=0.016 μM; K_i=5.9 nM). PLX5622 hemifumarate allows for extended and specific microglial elimination, preceding and during pathology development. PLX5622 hemifumarate demonstrates desirable PK properties in varies animals.

Reserpine hydrochloride is an inhibitor of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2).

Fenpropathrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide in agriculture. Fenpropathrin may induces parkinsonian symptoms progressively.
