iron(ii)

Iron(II) fumarate (Iron Fumarate) is the iron(II) salt of fumaric acid, a reddish-orange powder, applied to supply iron intake.

Iron (III) hexacyanoferrate (II) is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T35378 and the CAS number is 14038-43-8.

Iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences and the catalog number is T66117.

Ferrous Bisglycinate (Bisglycine iron(II) salt) is used in the fortification of infant formulations and foods.

Zinc Protoporphyrin (Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX) is an orally active and competitive inhibitor of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and markedly attenuates the protective effects of Phloroglucinol (PG) against H2O2, and has anti-cancer activity.

Collismycin A is a bacterial metabolite originally isolated from Streptomyces that has diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, antiproliferative, and neuroprotective properties. It is active against a variety of bacteria (MICs = 6.25 and 100 μg/ml) and fungi (MICs = 12.5-100 μg/ml). It inhibits proliferation of A549 lung, HCT116 colon, and HeLa cervical cancer cells (IC50s = 0.3, 0.6, and 0.3 μM, respectively) and NIH373 fibroblasts (IC50 = 56.6 μM) but not MDA-MD-231 breast cancer cells (IC50 = >100 μM). Collismycin A forms a complex with Fe(II) and Fe(III) at a 2:1 ratio, and the addition of iron ions inhibits the antiproliferative effect of collismycin A on HeLa cells, an effect that does not occur with the addition of zinc, manganese, copper, or magnesium ions. Collismycin A (1 μM) prevents apoptosis in the brain region of zebrafish larvae by 44% in a model of neuronal cell death induced by all-trans retinoic acid .

Boscalid is a broad-spectrum carboxamide fungicide that inhibits fungal respiration by binding to the ubiquinone site of mitochondrial complex II/succinate dehydrogenase.1It suppresses mycelial growth ofS. minorby 87 to 100% and ofS. sclerotiorumby 77 to 100% when used at a concentration of 1 μg/ml.2In field studies, boscalid applied at 5.6 μg/cm2provides 55.5 and 30.4% disease control for lettuce drop caused byS. minorandS. sclerotiorum, respectively. It decreases cell viability of mouse primary cortical neurons following long-term exposure but is not cytotoxic (LC50= >100 μM for acute and continuous exposure). Formulations containing boscalid have been used in agriculture to prevent fungal growth on crops. 1.Wang, Y., Duan, Y., Wang, J., et al.A new point mutation in the iron-sulfur subunit of succinate dehydrogenase confers resistance to boscalid in Sclerotinia sclerotiorumMol.
