A naturally occurring cytokinin that regulates cell division, development, and nutrient processing in plants and serves as a precursor to zeatin synthesis.

A potent inhibitor of MEK5 (IC₅₀ = 4.3 nM) and moderate inhibitor of ERK5 and TGFβR1 (IC₅₀s = 810 and 1800 nM, respectively).

A synthetic analog of natural PtdIns containing C8:0 fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions; contains the same inositol and DAG stereochemistry as the natural compound.

An internal standard for the quantification of Latanoprost by GC- or LC-MS.

A natural indole alkaloid with demonstrated beneficial effects in cancer, obesity, inflammation, and many other conditions; an AhR antagonist (Ki = 28 nM), activator of TRPV1 (EC₅₀ = 45 nM), and inhibitor of signaling through NF-κB.

A nonspecific, irreversible inhibitor of serine proteases and other enzymes, including acetylcholinesterase, palmityl coenzyme A deacylase, arylsulfatase A, chymotrypsin, and trypsin; also known to block anandamide metabolism, which produces CB effects in mice, including antinociception,...

A selective, nonpeptide AT2R antagonist (IC₅₀ = 5.6 nM vs. 100 nM for AT1R) that has been used to selectively examine the specific roles for AT1R and AT2R in hypertensive and other vascular research-related models.

A chemical probe that specifically binds to the bromodomain of BRPF1 (Kd = 13 nM), inhibiting binding to tri-acetylated histone 4 (residues 1-21); potent in cells, with an IC₅₀ value of 250 nM.

The oxidized form of GSH that can be reduced back to GSH through the NADPH-dependent enzyme glutathione reductase; functions as a hydrogen acceptor in the enzymatic determination of NADP+ and NADPH and can be a proximal donor in S-glutathionylation post translational modifications.

A synthetic adrenal hormone, an androstanediol analog, that acts as an androgen receptor antagonist; inhibits androstenediol-dependent LNCaP cell tumor growth both in vitro (IC₅₀ = 6 nM) and in vivo.

This nuclear receptor assay system utilizes proprietary non-human cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of the full-length human estrogen receptor 2 (NR3A2), a ligand-dependent transcription factor commonly referred to as ERβ. INDIGO’s reporter cells include the...

Peptide sequence: PGP PGP is a tripeptide molecule and an established biomarker for COPD and CF. PGP functions as a neutrophil chemoattractant and is derived from the proteolytic cleavage of collagen in the extracellular matrix by a multistep cascade.

A natural antitumor inhibitor of cell adhesion to extracellular matrix that potently and selectively inhibits PP2A (IC₅₀ = 29 nM against the catalytic subunit), while having no effect against PP1, PP2B, or PP5.

A selective inhibitor of casein kinase 1ε (CK1ε; IC₅₀ = 32 nM) with greater than 20-fold selectivity over CK1δ; blocks CK1ε-mediated PER3 nuclear localization and PER2 degradation, both of which are proteins important for maintaining circadian rhythms in...

A protein cross-linking agent isolated from G. jasminoides Ellis; inhibits UCP2 activity; 5 µM genipin increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in isolated pancreatic islets chronically exposed to high levels of glucose; induces apoptosis in FaO rat hepatoma cells and human...

A natural guanidine-taurine analog derived from taurine; competitively inhibits taurine uptake by sodium-dependent taurine transporters in rat hepatocytes (Ki = 1.75 mM); a competitive glycine receptor antagonist in mouse striatal neurons.

An estrogen steroid hormone exclusively produced by fetal liver from estradiol and estriol during pregnancy; binds ERα with 4-fold higher affinity for over ERβ; exhibits estrogenic effects in bone, brain, vagina, and endometrium; acts as an estrogen antagonist in the presence of...

A common by-product of the Wittig reaction; useful as a standard in analyzing products of synthetic routes that utilize the Wittig reaction.

A bile salt formed in the liver by conjugation of cholic acid with taurine that can be used to solubilize lipids and membrane-bound proteins.

An analytical reference standard that is structurally similar to known phytocannabinoids; intended for research and forensic applications

A specific antagonist of the type 4 PGE2 receptor EP4; possesses significant anti-tumor growth activity in multiple preclinical tumor models through modulating myeloid cells.

A mycotoxin from F. moniliforme, a fungus of grains; at 1 μM, inhibits sphingosine N-acyltransferase; fumonisins, found as contaminants in foods, induce apoptosis via altered sphingolipid metabolism, resulting in hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

PGD2 is one of the five primary enzymatic prostaglandins derived directly from PGH2. PGD2 is produced abundantly in the CSF by the lipocalin-type PGD synthase, and in the periphery by myeloid cells including mast cells and basophils by a second, hematopoietic-type PGD synthase. PGD2 is chemically...
