Bimatoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Oxidation of the C-15 hydroxyl group and amide hydrolysis of Bimatoprost produces 15-keto-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α, a potential metabolite when administered to animals. 15-keto PG analogs can be minor impurities in commercial preparations of corresponding bulk drug compounds. Although much less potent than the parent compound, 15-keto PGs can still produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in intraocular pressure of normal cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 1 μg eye. 15-keto Latanoprost (15-keto-17-phenyl-13,14-dihydro trinor PGF2α isopropyl ester) acts as a miotic in normal cat eyes, causing an 8 mm reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg eye. This is less potent compared to many other F-type PGs; for example, PGF2α induces similar miosis at less than 1 μg eye.

Latanoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Oxidation of the C-15 hydroxyl group without isopropyl ester hydrolysis produces 15-keto latanoprost. 15-keto Latanoprost is a potential metabolite of latanoprost when administered to animals. 15-keto Latanoprost is also one of the common minor impurities found in commercial preparations of the bulk drug compound. Although much less potent that the parent compound latanoprost, 15-keto latanoprost still retains the ability to produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in the intraocular pressure of normal cynomolgus monkeys when administered at a dose of 1 μg/eye. 15-keto Latanoprost is also a miotic in the normal cat eye, causing an 8 mm reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg/eye. Again, this is not as potent as many other F-type PGs; for example, PGF2α will produce this degree of miosis at a dose of less than 1 μg/eye. Products of β-oxidation account for most of the metabolites of latanoprost recovered in plasma and urine. However, 15-keto latanoprost is a minor metabolite, and one which could be enhanced in situations where β-oxidation is reduced.

Fluorescently labelled peptide derived from human ACE2 (SBP1, Cat. No. 7233). Composed of SBP1 conjugated to FITC (Fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate; Cat. No. 5440). SBP1 binds receptor binding domain (RBD) of insect-derived SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (KD = 1.3 μM for N-terminal biotinylated, insect-derived spike protein RBD; see Zhang et al preprint publication). Please note - unpublished, in-house data suggests SBP1 has approximately 75-fold lower affinity for insect-derived SARS-CoV-2 RBD than reported by Zhang et al.

Cathepsin C-IN-5 (compound SF38) is a potent, selective, and orally active Cathepsin C inhibitor with an IC50 of 59.9 nM for Cat C, and significantly lower potency against Cat L (4.26 µM), Cat S, Cat B, and Cat K (all >5 µM). It reduces Cat C activity in bone marrow and blood, diminishes NSPs activation, and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity [1].

15-keto Latanoprost is a potential metabolite of latanoprost when administered to animals and is a common minor impurity in commercial preparations of the bulk drug compound. Although much less potent than latanoprost, 15-keto Latanoprost can still produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in intraocular pressure in normal cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 1 μg eye. It also acts as a miotic in normal cats, causing an 8 mm Hg reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg eye, though it is not as potent as many other F-type prostaglandins, such as prostaglandin F2α, which achieves the same effect at less than 1 μg eye.
