Tamoxifen is a Protein Kinase C inhibitor. It induces apoptosis in human malignant glioma cell lines. Tamoxifen and its metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen are selective estrogen response modifiers (SERMs) that act as estrogen antagonists in mammary gland. Blocks estradiol-stimulated VEGF production in…

Rifamycin SV is a broad-spectrum semisynthetic antimicrobial agent of the rifamycin group. Rifamycin SV is used to study potential genes, such as rif15 and rif16, which may be involved in the conversion of rifamycin SV into rifamycin B. It is a potential treatment for traveler’s diarrhea…

Cefsulodin is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has very specific activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has no significant activity against other Gram-negative bacteria and very limited activity against Gram-positive bacteria and anaerobic bacteria. Cefuslodin is most…

Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat different types of bacterial infections. Amikacin works by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of mRNA and leaving the bacterium unable to synthesize proteins vital to its growth. Amikacin must be given by the…

Protein Kinase C inhibitor. Tamoxifen Citrate Salt is a nonsteroidal triphenylethylene derivative. Tamoxifen and its metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen are mixed estrogen agonists/antagonists. Tamoxifen has been shown to protect bone from estrogen-deficiency bone loss and lower plasma cholesterol in…

Gentamicin sulpahte is an aminoglycoside antibiotic complex produced by fermentation of Micromonospora purpurea or M. echinospora. It is a mixture of 3 major components designated as C1, C1a, and C2. Gentamicin is used as the sulfate salt. Each component consists of five basic nitrogens and…

Amphotericin B is an antimicrobial/antifungal agent effective against yeast and other fungi. It is a mixture of polyenes. It interrupts cell membrane permeability by binding sterols resulting in the loss of low molecular weight compounds from the cell. Amphotericin B may be toxic to some insect…

Hygromycin B is an antibiotic substance isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Its mode of action is the inhibition of protein synthesis, by inducing the misreading of the m-RNA template in the prokaryote, (E. coli, at 100 mg/mL), lower eukaryotes (e.g., yeast, at 200 mg/mL) and higher…

Ivermectin is a macrolide antiobiotic, & semisynthetic derivative of avermectin B1a and B1b. Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent. Positive allosteric modulator of α7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; also modulates glutamate-GABA-activated chloride channels.
