Piriprost
Piriprost (U-60257) is an inhibitor of Glutathione-S-transferase and leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitor. Piriprost inhibits the biosynthesis of leukotriene C/D without affecting cyclooxygenase-mediated arachidonic acid metabolites. Piriprost increases the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Piriprost antagonizes contractions induced by leukotriene C/D in vitro. Piriprost is used in asthma research.

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cell osteogenic differentiation
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells can be induced toward an osteoblast-like lineage in vitro by culture in osteogenic medium containing dexamethasone, ascorbic acid or ascorbate-2-phosphate, and β-glycerophosphate; the differentiation process is commonly evaluated by alkaline phosphatase activity, osteogenic marker expression, collagenous matrix formation, and calcium-rich matrix mineralization. The main readouts are alkaline phosphatase activity as an early osteogenic marker and Alizarin Red S staining as a calcium-deposit readout for mineralized extracellular matrix; Alizarin Red S can be inspected microscopically or extracted and measured colorimetrically at 405 nm.
