Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels which include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, rheumatic heart disease, etc. CVDs are the number 1 cause of death globally. Smoking, unhealthy nutrition, aging population, lack of physical activity, arterial hypertension, or diabetes can promote cardiovascular disease like myocardial infarction or stroke. It is multifactorial and encompasses a multitude of mechanisms, such as eNOS uncoupling, reactive oxygen species formation, chronic inflammatory disorders and abnormal calcium homeostasis. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetes agents may reduce the cardiovascular disease risk.

Research Areas:
Thiacloprid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Thiacloprid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Thiacloprid is an orally active neurotoxic insecticide and also a nAChR agonist. Thiacloprid reduces the viability of healthy cells, depletes reduced glutathione, and increases MDA levels, thereby inducing cytotoxicity and oxidative stress damage. In practical applications, Thiacloprid has lower acute toxicity to honeybees than other compounds of the same class such as Imidacloprid (HY-B0838), but it still significantly impairs the learning and memory function, immune capacity and survival status of honeybees. Thiacloprid induces intestinal microbial dysbiosis and reduces survival rate in middle-aged honeybees, increases the risk of premature collapse in bumblebee colonies, and significantly decreases the final colony weight and reproductive output. Thiacloprid is used in broad-spectrum agricultural pest control, often alone or in combination with Deltamethrin (HY-B1971), and meets the pest management needs of various crops including potatoes, cabbages, various fruits and vegetables, and nuts .

Tonifying traditional Chinese medicines occupy a central position in the traditional medical system, with their core value lying in the regulation of the body's functional state. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that these medicinal materials and their monomeric components possess multiple biological activities, including bidirectional immune regulation, anti-aging and lifespan extension, neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement, as well as hematopoietic and metabolic regulation. According to the traditional Chinese medicine theory of “strengthening the body’s resistance and consolidating the foundation”, tonifying medicines are mainly classified into four major categories: Qi-tonifying, Blood-tonifying, Yin-tonifying, and Yang-tonifying. This compound library strictly follows this classification system for compound collection.
Monomeric compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicines demonstrate excellent drug-like properties. They naturally possess structural diversity and clearly defined pharmacological activities, which help improve screening success rates and make them ideal tools for studying multi-target synergistic effects. This library contains 1,039 compounds, providing a material basis for investigating synergistic interactions among compounds (network pharmacology) and facilitating the development of multi-target therapeutic strategies for complex diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndrome.

With the aging population and increasing competitive pressures, neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) have become a serious medical challenge in modern society, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis. However, the success rate of CNS drug development remains remarkably low, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a semipermeable barrier structure that surrounds the microvasculature of the CNS. In capillaries, the wedged endothelial cells are tightly packed and wedge-shaped, lining the interior of the vessels to form extensive tight junctions. Along with a range of receptors, transporters, efflux pumps, and other cellular components, this barrier regulates the entry and exit of molecules between the bloodstream and the brain. The intact BBB blocks the passage of most blood-borne substances into the brain, preventing nearly 100% of large-molecule drugs and over 98% of small-molecule drugs from entering. Compared to non-CNS drugs, physicochemical properties such as hydrogen bonds, lipophilicity, and molecular weight significantly influence a compound's ability to cross the BBB. Using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to predict BBB permeability, a predicted value greater than 0.75 indicates that the compound has strong potential to cross the BBB, providing a promising starting point for CNS drug discovery.
