Ethalfluralin

Ethalfluralin is a dinitroaniline herbicide and microtubule inhibitor. Ethalfluralin blocks nuclear division and cytokinesis of parasites by inhibiting intranuclear spindle formation. Ethalfluralin activates the phosphorylation levels of NF-κB and P38 MAPK, inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, impairs mitochondrial function, and induces apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, and ROS production. Ethalfluralin is applicable to research related to toxoplasmosis.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
