Reproductive System Disease Models

Cyclophosphamide is a synthetic alkylating agent chemically related to the nitrogen mustards with antineoplastic activity, a immunosuppressant.

Triptolide is a diterpenoid triepoxide extracted from the root of Tripterygium wilfordii with immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative and antitumour effects. Triptolide is a NF-κB activation inhibitor.

N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU;MNU;NMH) is a potent carcinogen, mutagen and teratogenand. N-Nitroso-N-methylurea is a direct-acting alkylating agent that interacts with DNA. N-Nitroso-N-methylurea targets multiple animal organs to cause various cancer and/or degenerative disease. N-Nitroso-N-methylurea is also a precursor in the synthesis of diazomethane.

DMBA has carcinogenic activity as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). DMBA is used to induce tumor formation in various rodent models.

Gossypol binds to Bcl-xL protein and Bcl-2 protein with K_is of 0.5-0.6 μM and 0.2-0.3 mM, respectively.

Gossypol acetic acid ((±)-Gossypol-acetic acid) binds to Bcl-xL protein and Bcl-2 protein with K_is of 0.5-0.6 μM and 0.2-0.3 mM, respectively.

Nitrofurazone (Nitrofural) is a broad spectrum antibiotic that has oral activity. Nitrofurazone is a nitro-aromatic drug. Nitrofurazone is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

FANFT is an orally active and potent uroepithelial carcinogen. FANFT is metabolized to ANFT in vivo, which induces gene mutations and malignant cell transformation. FANFT efficiently induces bladder tumors in mice.
