Cyclopiazonic acid is a mycotoxin that has been found in Penicillium and Aspergillus and an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA, IC50 = 0.6 µM). In vivo, cyclopiazonic acid (11-14 mg/kg) induces ptosis, hypothermia, tremor, and cachexia, as well as induces lethality (LD50 = 13 mg/kg),...

6-keto PGE1 is a metabolite isolated after the incubation of PGI2 with rabbit liver microsomes. However, it is not produced in appreciable amounts following IV infusion of PGI2 in humans. 6-keto PGE1 is equipotent with PGI2 as a vasodilator, in most other aspects its activity resembles PGE1.Formal Name:...

AA-861 is an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO, IC50 = 0.8 µM). It is greater than 100-fold selective for 5-LO over 12-LO and cyclooxygenase (COX). AA-861 inhibits the production of 5-HETE and leukotriene B4 (LTB4, Cay-20110, Cay-10007240) induced by A23187 (Cay-22030) with IC50 values of 0.03 and 0.08 µM,...

Protein farnesylation is a posttranslational modification where a farnesyl isoprenoid moiety is attached to cysteine residues located near the C-terminus of proteins. Farnesyl alcohol azide acts as a replacement for endogenously-produced farnesyl alcohol and becomes attached to proteins through normal biological...

4-hydroxy Nonenal (4-HNE) is a major aldehyde produced during the lipid peroxidation of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid and linoleic acid. It is considered a potential causal agent in numerous diseases, including chronic inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, atherosclerosis,...

Calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels mediate sustained calcium influx in electrically non-excitable cells. CRAC channels are activated by the release of calcium from intracellular stores, as induced by inositol trisphosphate. CRAC channel activation is essential for the activation of leukocytes and the...

Phospholipase D (PLD) is an enzyme which cleaves the head group from phospholipids, producing the second messenger phosphatidic acid. Two mammalian isoforms of PLD, PLD1 and PLD2, have been identified, with multiple splice variants of each. Although the two isoforms share structural and functional features, they are...

9(Z)-Tricosene is a pheromone released by insects, including D. melanogaster, M. domestica (house fly), and A. mellifera L. (honey bee). In Drosophila, it induces aggregation behavior and is an oviposition guidance cue for females. Due to its aggregation-inducing activity, it is used as a bait pesticide to attract...

IkappaBzeta is an ankyrin repeat-containing nuclear protein that is highly homologous to the IkappaB family member Bcl-3. Transcription of IkappaBzeta is upregulated by stimulation with TLR ligands, IL-1, and IL-6 in cultured B-lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages, but only faintly so in T-lymphocytes, fibroblasts,...

Prostaglandin I2 is an unstable prostanoid which, through the 'I prostanoid' (IP) receptor, inhibits platelet aggregation and promotes vasodilatation in pulmonary vascular beds. AFP 07 is a 7,7-difluoroprostacyclin derivative that acts as a selective and highly potent agonist for the IP receptor (Ki = 0.561 nM). AFP...
