Hydrocortisone-d₄ is the deuterium labeled Hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone (Cortisol) is a steroid hormone or glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Spironolactone-d₆-1 is the deuterium labeled Spironolactone (HY-B0561). Spironolactone is an aldosterone antagonist that acts on the aldosterone mineralocorticoid receptor (IC₅₀=24 nM) and androgen receptor (IC₅₀=77 nM), promotes podocyte autophagy and regulates pain. Spironolactone improves hypertension-related vascular hypertrophy and remodeling by reducing angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced inflammation, reduces aldosterone-induced vascular and soft tissue calcification through PIT1-dependent signaling, and alleviates vascular dysfunction in type II diabetic mice by reducing oxidative stress and restoring NO/GC signaling; at low concentrations, it and its metabolites can interfere with aldosterone biosynthesis in the adrenal cortex and inhibit voltage-dependent Ca²⁺ channels to exert antihypertensive effects.

Difluprednate-d₃-1 is the deuterium labeled Difluprednate (HY-17569). Difluprednate is a glucocorticoid receptor (GC receptor) agonist with a K_i of 0.78 nM. Difluprednate's active metabolite 21-deacetylated difluprednate (DFB) is a competitive agonist of GC receptors with a K_i of 0.061 nM. Difluprednate binds to GC receptors through metabolism to DFB, regulating the transcription of inflammatory mediator genes, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory activity. Difluprednate can be used for research related to ocular inflammation, such as postoperative inflammation, anterior uveitis, etc.

Cortisone-d₉ (17-Hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone-d₉) is the deuterium labeled Cortisone (HY-17461). Cortisone (17-Hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone), an oxidized metabolite of Cortisol (a Glucocorticoid). Cortisone acts as an immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. Cortisone can partially intervene in binding of Glucocorticoid to Glucocorticoid-receptor at high concentrations.

Corticosterone-d₈ is the deuterium labeled Corticosterone. Corticosterone is an adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid.

Squalene-d₆ (Super Squalene-d₆) is a deuterium labeled Squalene. Squalene (Super Squalene) is an intermediate product in the synthesis of cholesterol, and shows several pharmacological properties such as hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, antiatherosclerotic, cardioprotective, antioxidant, and antitumour activity.

Cholesterol-d₆ is the deuterium labeled Cholesterol. Cholesterol is the major sterol in mammals. It is making up 20-25% of structural component of the plasma membrane. Plasma membranes are highly permeable to water but relatively impermeable to ions and protons. Cholesterol plays an important role in determining the fluidity and permeability characteristics of the membrane as well as the function of both the transporters and signaling proteins. Cholesterol is also an endogenous estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) agonist.

Progesterone-d₉ is the deuterium labeled Progesterone. Progesterone is a steroid hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle and is crucial for pregnancy.

Aldosterone-d₈ is a deuterium labeled Aldosterone. Aldosterone, produced in the adrenal zona glomerulosa, regulates blood pressure.

Aldosterone-d₇ is the deuterium labeled Aldosterone. Aldosterone is the primary mineralocorticoid. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone, and it is synthesized and secreted in response to renin-angiotensin system activation (RAS) or high dietary potassium by the zona glomerulosa (ZG) of the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone activity is dependent by the binding and activation of the cytoplasmic/nuclear mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) at cellular level.

25-Hydroxycholesterol-d₆ (25-OHC-d₆) is the deuterium labeled 25-Hydroxycholesterol. 25-Hydroxycholesterol is a metabolite of cholesterol that is produced and secreted by macrophages in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation. 25-hydroxycholesterol is a potent (EC₅₀≈65 nM) and selective suppressor of IgA production by B cells.

Ethynyl Estradiol-d₄ is the deuterium labeled Ethynyl Estradiol. Ethynyl Estradiol (17α-Ethynylestradiol;Ethynylestradiol) is an orally bio-active estrogen used in almost all modern formulations of combined oral contraceptive pills. Ethynyl Estradiol-d4 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

Cortisone-d₈ is the deuterium labeled Cortisone. Cortisone (17-Hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone), an oxidized metabolite of Cortisol (a Glucocorticoid). Cortisone acts as an immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. Cortisone can partially intervene in binding of Glucocorticoid to Glucocorticoid-receptor at high concentrations.

Estrone-d₄ is the deuterium labeled Estrone. Estrone (E1) is a natural estrogenic hormone. Estrone is the main representative of the endogenous estrogens and is produced by several tissues, especially adipose tissue. Estrone is the result of the process of aromatization of androstenedione that occurs in fat cells.
