8-iso Prostaglandin F2beta (8-iso PGF2beta) is an isomer of PGF2alpha with a non-enzymatic, non-cyclooxygenase origin. It is one of 64 possible isomers of PGF2alpha which can be produced by free radical peroxidation of arachidonic acid. 8-iso PGF2beta exhibits very weak contraction of human umbilical vein artery and...

S-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-methionine (SAM) is a methyl donor and cofactor. It is involved in several biological processes, including epigenetic regulation, post-translational modification of proteins, and metabolism. Formulations containing SAM have been used as dietary supplements.Formal Name:...

Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is the primary cellular receptor for NO. NO binds and activates a heme group in sGC, initiating the conversion of GTP to the second messenger cGMP. cGMP subsequently mediates a number of signaling cascades leading to vasorelaxation and inhibiting smooth muscle proliferation, leukocyte...

Heme oxygenase (HO) converts protoheme to biliverdin, which in turn is enzymatically metabolized to bilirubin (Cay-17161). While HO-2 is constitutively expressed, HO-1 can be induced by its heme substrate as well as by heavy metals, oxidizing agents, and other environmental stresses. Tin(IV) protoporphyrin IX...

Dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) is a dithiol-containing carboxylic acid that is the reduced form of alpha-lipoic acid (Cay-10005728). It acts as a general antioxidant that is highly reactive against a variety of reactive oxygen species, including hydroxyl radicals, peroxynitirite, hydrogen peroxide, and hypochlorite, at...

alpha-Hydroxyglutaric acid (2-HG) is an alpha-hydroxy acid. It is metabolized to 2-oxoglutarate by D- and L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenases, and mutations in these enzymes lead to 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, a neurometabolic disorder characterized by increased levels of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid (Cay-21123). 2-HG...

Chitobiose is a dimer of beta-1,4 linked glucosamine units derived from chitin, which, in turn, is a long chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine that is a primary component of fungal cell walls and arthropod exoskeletons. Chitobiose octaacetate is a form of chitobiose containing eight acetate groups. It is formed by...

4-Thiouridine (4-SU) is a photoactivatable ribonucleoside analog that is widely used for RNA analysis, including short-range RNA-RNA crosslinking and nascent RNA labeling. The crosslinking thio moiety is attached directly to the nucleotide base, thus 4-SU differs from uridine only by a single sulfur substitution....
