KS IV is a cyclolignan derivative and antigonadotropic agent. KS IV exhibits activity against pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) but shows no activity against luteinizing hormone (LH). KS IV abolishes the stimulatory effect of PMSG on testosterone release from isolated mouse Leydig cells. KS IV can be used in studies on gonadotropin-regulated endocrine functions .

Hormones are a class of biologically active substances secreted by endocrine gland cells, which are transported through the circulatory system to various parts of the body, and precisely act on specific target organs or cells, playing a crucial role in regulating the growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction of organisms. The mechanisms of hormone action are diverse and complex. Some hormones (such as corticosteroids, vitamin D, and thyroid hormones) can enter the cell interior and interact with receptors in the nucleus, thereby regulating gene expression and affecting cell function. Other hormones (such as growth hormone and thyrotropin-releasing hormone) bind directly to receptors on the cell surface, exerting their effects by regulating enzyme activity or influencing the state of ion channels. Additionally, hormones play a key role in the study of endocrine and metabolic diseases, and are closely related to the development of diseases such as diabetes and thyroid diseases.

MCE has included 86 human hormone compounds, which is of great significance for the study of human metabolic pathways, and can also be used to build a metabonomics database.

Cat. No.: HY-B0886R
CAS No.: 305-33-9
Iproniazid (phosphate) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Iproniazid phosphate (HY-B0886). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Iproniazid phosphate is an orally active, irreversible, non-selective monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor. Iproniazid phosphate inhibits MAO activity and enhances Rotenone (HY-B1756)-induced Apoptosis. Iproniazid phosphate modulates neurotransmitter levels, affects neuronal function, induces hepatic necrosis, and interferes with the endocrine system. Iproniazid phosphate can be used in the research of depression, Parkinson's disease, and hepatotoxicity .

Accumulating evidence has revealed that intestinal microbiota play an important role in human health and disease, including cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and depression, etc. Changes in the composition of gut microbiota associated with disease, referred to as dysbiosis, have been linked to pathologies. Indeed, the gut microbiome functions like an endocrine organ, generating bioactive metabolites which play important roles in human metabolism, health, and disease. Gut microbiome has become a novel therapeutic target for many diseases. Analysis and identification of gut microbial metabolite will contribute to the development of therapeutic methods.

In order to meet the need of gut microbiome research, MCE carefully selected a unique collection of 475 gut microbial metabolites. MCE gut microbial metabolite library is a powerful tool for gut microbiome research and gut microbiome -related drug discovery.

Vulgarin is an orally active, naturally occurring eudesmane sesquiterpene with multiple biological activities including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Vulgarin targets and inhibits HMGB1, NF-κB and iNOS, while regulating key genes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis; it also blocks inflammatory signaling pathways and inhibits the production and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β. Vulgarin effectively alleviates pancreatic oxidative stress by reducing lipid peroxidation levels and restoring antioxidant enzyme activity. Vulgarin reverses abnormally elevated serum pancreatic enzyme levels, preserves the integrity of pancreatic acinar cells, and reduces pancreatic edema, hemorrhage and inflammatory infiltration. Vulgarin remodels the function of pancreatic endocrine cells, restores insulin content in β cells, and downregulates glucagon levels in α cells and somatostatin levels in δ cells. Vulgarin can be used in studies related to pancreatic injury and diabetes .

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane binding structures that are released from cells into the surrounding environment and play a crucial role in mediating and regulating intercellular communication related to physiological and pathological processes. EVs are lipid membrane vesicles composed of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. EVs can be divided into several types based on their source, such as extracellular vesicles, microcapsules, and apoptotic vesicles. The size range of exosomes is 30-150nm, which are endocrine in multi vesicular endosomes (MVEs); microvesicles (50-1000nm) are secreted directly through extracellular interactions, thereby releasing plasma membrane vesicles. In contrast, apoptotic bodies are usually larger, ranging in size from 1 to 5 μ m. This is generated during programmed cell death. EV plays a crucial role in transmitting information between cells and influencing the behavior and function of receptor cells.

MCE designs a unique collection of 707 small molecules related to extracellular vesicles (EVs). It is a good tool to be used for research on metabolize, cancer and other diseases.
