IGUANA-1 free base (STL5-T-0057) is an selective ALDH1 B1 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ value of 30 nM. IGUANA-1 free base inhibits cell growth of SW480 cells in adherent and spheroid conditions with IC₅₀ values of 2.46 and 0.39 μM, respectively. IGUANA-1 free base can be used for the research of cancer .

BQU57 is a selective inhibitor of RalA/RalB small GTPases, with a binding potency (Kb) of 7.7 μM for RalB-GDP. BQU57 can block its interaction with effector proteins (such as SEC5 and EXO84), inhibiting tumor cell migration, invasion and non-adherent growth. BQU57 downregulates the NF-κB signaling pathway, reduces the expression of IL-6, IL-8 and MMP-13, and inhibits apoptosis by regulating the Bcl-2/Bax balance. BQU57 also protects the extracellular matrix by inhibiting the Ral/NF-κB pathway and can be used for the study of degenerative diseases. BQU57 exhibits significant antitumor activity in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models, inhibiting orthotopic tumor growth and lung metastasis and enhancing paclitaxel chemotherapy sensitivity .

BODIPY 650/665 NHS ester is a bright far-red fluorescent dye. Its excitation/emission wavelengths are Ex/Em = 646/660 nm .

Dansyl-morpholine (DNS-M) is a Fluorescent probe for lipid droplet imaging, cancer cell discrimination, and real-time tracking of lipid droplet dynamics. As a solvatochromic probe with a donor-π-acceptor structure, it relies on hydrophobic interaction for its mechanism of action: its good lipophilicity, confirmed by an oil-water partition coefficient LogP = 2.35, allows it to rapidly penetrate cell membranes, and it specifically localizes to the hydrophobic core of lipid droplets; its fluorescence is strongly enhanced in the nonpolar environment of lipid droplets, while it emits very weak fluorescence in polar environments like PBS buffer, and it exhibits a bathochromic shift in emission wavelength with increasing solvent polarity. It has negligible cytotoxicity, with cell viability remaining over 95% after 24-hour incubation with 100 μM of the probe, and it possesses excellent photostability, retaining over 97% of initial fluorescence intensity after 60 continuous laser scans. For cell imaging applications, its excitation/emission wavelengths for lipid droplet labeling are Ex/Em = 405/480−540 nm, and in a simulative lipid environment O/W emulsion, it has an excitation wavelength of ~346 nm and emission wavelength of ~500 nm, giving a Stokes shift of 154 nm[1].
