Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) is one of the 20-carbon fatty acids that can be metabolized to prostaglandins and thromboxanes (TXs) by cyclooxygenases 1 and 2 (COX-1/COX-2). The result of this metabolism in the human platelet yields TXB1. TXB1 is produced in small amounts when DGLA is added to washed suspensions...

Piperlongumine is an alkaloid that has been found in P. longum and has anticancer and antioxidant activities. It binds to glutathione (GSH) and inhibits the protein-protein interaction between glutathione and glutathione S-transferase pi 1 (GSTP1), an enzyme that is often overexpressed in cancer cells....

Nifedipine is a dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker that reduces the amplitude of spontaneous contractions in isolated rabbit ileum when used at a concentration of 1 µM. Nifedipine (1 µM) reduces TGF-beta-induced calcium oscillations in human fibroblasts and prevents impairment of lung function in a mouse...

Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is a member of the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family. It is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein with roles in a variety of cellular processes, including regulation of gene transcription, cell cycle progression, and viral genome segregation. BRD4 is...

F-amidine is an inhibitor of protein arginine deiminases (PADs) that is selective for PAD1 and PAD4 (IC50s = 29.5, 350, and 21.6 µM for PAD1, PAD3, and PAD4 in vitro, respectively). It irreversibly inactivates all four PAD subtypes (kinact/KI = 2,800, 380, 170, and 3,000 M-1min-1 by covalently modifying an active...

Palmitic acid is a common 16-carbon saturated fat that represents 10-20% of human dietary fat intake and comprises approximately 25 and 65% of human total plasma lipids and saturated fatty acids, respectively. Acylation of palmitic acid to proteins facilitates anchoring of membrane-bound proteins to the lipid...

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor that acts as a bile acid sensor, protecting cells and organs against bile acid toxicity. GW 4064 is a selective agonist of FXR (EC50 = 15 nM). It displays no activity at other nuclear receptors, including the retinoic acid receptor, at concentrations up to 1 µM. GW...

(±)5-iPF2alpha-VI-d11 contains 11 deuterium atoms at the 16, 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, and 20 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of (±)5-iPF2alpha-VI (Cay-16300) by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. Isoprostanes are prostaglandin-like products of free-radical...

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 the sn-2 position. HEPC...

Terminal differentiation of embryonic progenitor cells to form distinct, adult tissues is the hallmark of organogenesis in complex organisms. However, in mammals including humans, this process is not readily reversible. Reversine is a 2,6-disubstituted purine derivative that was identified using a screening system...

Cloprostenol is a synthetic prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) analog and a potent FP receptor agonist. (+)-15-epi Cloprostenol is the 15(S), or 15beta-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....
