Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reaction has been used to detect lipid oxidation. When lipids are oxidized, malonaldehyde is formed. TBA reacts with malonaldehyde in hot acid to form a red complex of malonaldehyde:TBA (1:2). Used to quantitate lipopolysaccharides, carrageenan, and sialic acids; used…

Ascorbic Acid, also known as Vitamin C, is a six-carbon lactone produced by plants and some animal species but not by humans and other primates. Protects cells against the damaging effects of radiation and oxygen radicals Increases the rate of mineralization in osteoblasts Involved in…

The molecule is a dialdehyde, consisting of two formyl (CHO) groups attached to adjacent carbon centres on a benzene ring. o-Phthalaldehyde is used for precolumn derivatization of amino acids for HPLC separation and for flow cytometric measurements of protein thiol groups. Used for fluorometric…

Diphenylcyclopropenone is a potent hapten. Its vibration frequency has been evaluated. Diphenylcyclopropenone was used in topical immunotherapy.

Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a hematopoietic growth factor that exerts its activity at the early stages of hematopoiesis. SCF stimulates the proliferation of myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow cultures and has been shown to act synergistically with colony stimulating factors.…

Use as a TCA (Krebs cycle) supplement in cell culture applications. Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate can be used to study x-ray crystallography, protein structural analysis, proteomics and optimization reagents. Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate has been used to determine the calorimetric…

Lactic acid is fermentation acid from milk or carbohydrates. It occurs in the blood and muscle fluid of man and animals. The lactic acid concentration increases in muscle and blood after vigorous activity. It is also present in other organs including liver, kidney, and thymus gland, and other body…

Cyclophosphamide monohydrate is an alkylating, antineoplastic agent, which is converted in the body to an active alkylating metabolite (4-hydroxycyclophosphamide). It possesses immunosuppressant properties. Cyclophosphamide monohydrate used for induction chemotherapy to study predictive and…

p-Coumaric acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid, an organic compound that is a hydroxy derivative of cinnamic acid. There are three isomers of coumaric acid- o-coumaric acid, m-coumaric acid, and p-coumaric acid- that differ by the position of the hydroxy substitution of the phenyl group. p-Coumaric…

Squalene, an isoprenoid compound structurally similar to beta-carotene, is an intermediate metabolite in the synthesis of cholesterol. Squalene is not very susceptible to peroxidation and appears to function in the skin as a quencher of singlet oxygen, protecting human skin surface from lipid…
