8-iso PGE2 isopropyl ester is a more lipophilic form of the free acid, 8-iso PGE2. Prostaglandin esters have enhanced lipid solubility compared to their parent compounds. They are generally hydrolyzed to the free acid upon in vivo administration, making the esters useful prodrugs. In general, the…

Travoprost is the Alcon trade name for fluprostenol isopropyl ester, an F-series prostaglandin analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Fluprostenol isopropyl ester is a prodrug which is converted by esterase enzymatic activity in the cornea to yield the corresponding…

A naturally occurring phospholipid produced by cells upon inflammatory stimulation; less potent than PAF C-16 and PAF C-18 in the induction of neutrophil chemotaxis, but is equipotent to PAF C-16 and PAF C-18 in promoting eosinophil migration.

A homolog of DHEA, characterized by the addition of an (R)-β-methyl group at the terminal ethanolamine carbon.

A potent, stable, and selective agonist analog of AEA with a Ki value of 2.2 nM at the isolated rat CB1 receptor; 325 times more potent at the CB1 receptor compared with the CB2 receptor; induces hypothermia in mice with the same efficacy as AEA, in spite of its much higher affinity for the CB1…

DAN-1 EE is a fluorescent indicator for the bioimaging of NO. DAN-1 EE is a cell permeable derivative of DAN, a molecule which has been used extensively in the quantitation of nitrate and nitrite using fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon entry into the cell, DAN-1 EE is transformed into the less cell…

An analog of AEA that potentiates the activity of endogenous AEA by blocking its re-uptake into presynaptic neurons; selectively inhibits the carrier-mediated transport of AEA without affecting anandamide hydrolysis; inhibits the transport of AEA with an IC₅₀ value of 1 µM in rat…

(+)-15(R)-Fluprostenol isopropyl ester is a prodrug (Travoprost) which is converted by esterase enzymatic activity in the cornea to yield the corresponding free acid. The free acid, (+)-15(R)-fluprostenol, is a potent FP receptor agonist. The 15(R)-epimers of most PGs are about 100 times less…

Unnatural C-15 epimer of Travoprost.

A selective calcium ionophore that mobilizes intracellular calcium stores. It is used as a research tool to raise the intracellular level of calcium, to study calcium transport across biological membranes, and to stimulate the intracellular production of cytokines.

An endogenous CB neurotransmitter that binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors.

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

A substrate for cPLA₂.

A homolog of EPEA, characterized by the addition of an (R)-β-methyl group at the terminal ethanolamine carbon.

Cloprostenol is a synthetic PGF2α analog and a potent FP receptor agonist. (+)-15-epi Cloprostenol is the 15(S), or 15β-hydroxy enantiomer of (+)-cloprostenol. This epimer is less active by several orders of magnitude as an FP receptor ligand when compared to 15(R)-cloprostenol. However,…

A potent inhibitor of HCV infection (EC₅₀ = 17 nM) that displays low cytotoxicity of virally-infected human hepatoma Huh7.5.1 cells (CC₅₀ = 21.3 µM); displays good pharmacokinetics in mice when delivered intraperitoneally, with preferential liver distribution without…

A homolog of DHEA, characterized by the addition of an (S)-β-methyl group at the terminal ethanolamine carbon.

Thioester analogs of glycerophospholipids, in combination with Ellman’s reagent, are convenient colorimetric substrates for the measurement of phospholipase activity. HEPC is a truncated analog of phosphatidylcholine with the entire sn-1 substituent deleted, and with a hexadecylthioester in…

An alkaloid metabolite of nicotine as well as a major product of its pyrolysis; binds comparably to CYP2A6 and CYP2A13 (Kis = 7.5 and 5.6 µM, respectively), but appears to more effectively inactivate CYP2A6.

A natural isothiocyanate which induces the expression of phase II detoxification enzymes and activates Nrf2, promoting the expression of antioxidant and phase II genes; acts as a quorum sensing inhibitor, blocking acyl-homoserine lactone signaling in P. aeruginosa without affecting growth…

Thioetheramide-PC is a structurally modified phospholipid that functions as a competitive, reversible inhibitor of sPLA2. The IC₅₀ value for thioetheramide-PC is 2 µM at a substrate concentration of 0.5 mM. In addition to binding to the catalytic site of sPLA2, thioetheramide-PC…

Spontaneously hypertensive rats fed a diet which includes γ-tocotrienol show significant reduction of systolic blood pressure and an increase of nitric oxide synthase activity in blood vessels. γ-Tocotrienol at 20 µM induces apoptosis of malignant sympathoadrenal (+SA) murine…
