PX-478 suppresses both constitutive and hypoxia-induced levels of HIF-1alpha in cancer cells, resulting in reduced expression of HIF-1alpha target genes. It induces apoptosis in human tumor xenografts in mice to an extent that is proportional to initial HIF-1alpha level. PX-478 can also increase chemo- or...

DAUDA is an environment-sensitive fluorescent fatty acid analogue that alters its fluorescent emission spectra and intensities on entry into binding proteins. DAUDA has been used to determine the relative affinity of natural fatty acids for polymorphs of the Schistosoma mansoni Sm14 fatty acid-binding protein by...

Leukotriene C4-d5 (LTC4-d5) contains five deuterium atoms at the 19, 19', 20, 20 and 20 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of LTC4 by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. LTC4 is the parent cysteinyl leukotriene produced by the LTC4 synthase catalyzed conjugation of glutathione...

AMC arachidonoyl amide (AMC-AA) is one of several fatty acid amides which can be used to measure fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity. FAAH is a relatively unselective enzyme in that it accepts a variety of amide head groups other than the ethanolamine of its nominal endogenous substrate anandamide (AEA:...
