DL-Homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride (DL-Homocysteinethiolactone hydrochloride) is a cysteine derivative that binds to and induces conformational changes in various plasma proteins, slowing coagulation and inducing oxidative stress. It decreases left ventricular systolic blood pressure and cardiac force and induces seizures in vivo.

Palmitic acid-13C (C1, C2, C3, and C4 labeled) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid by GC- or LC-MS. 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.1,2Acylation of palmitic acid to proteins facilitates anchoring of membrane-bound proteins to the lipid bilayer and trafficking of intracellular proteins, promotes protein-vesicle interactions, and regulates various G protein-coupled receptor functions.1Red blood cell palmitic acid levels are increased in patients with metabolic syndrome compared to patients without metabolic syndrome and are also increased in the plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes compared to individuals without diabetes.3,4 1.Fatima, S., Hu, X., Gong, R.-H., et al.Palmitic acid is an intracellular signaling molecule involved in disease developmentCell.

Cholesteryl palmitic acid is a cholesteryl ester. A cholesteryl ester is an ester of cholesterol. Fatty acid esters of cholesterol constitute about two-thirds of the cholesterol in the plasma. Cholesterol is a sterol (a combination of steroid and alcohol) and a lipid found in the cell membranes of all body tissues and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. The accumulation of cholesterol esters in the arterial intima (the innermost layer of an artery, in direct contact with the flowing blood) is a characteristic feature of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting arterial blood vessels. It is a chronic inflammatory response in the walls of arteries, in large part to the deposition of lipoproteins (plasma proteins that carry cholesterol and triglycerides).

[Met5]-Enkephalin, amide is an agonist for δ opioid receptors as well as putative ζ (zeta) opioid receptors.Met-enkephalin circulates in several forms, some of which may be derived from proteins other than proenkephalin A, and plasma levels of both free n

pTH-Related Protein (1-40) (human, mouse, rat) enhances calcium absorption in rat intestinal cells by activating the PTHR1 receptor and the PKCα/β signaling pathways. This compound also increases the expression of the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTHR1) and four key proteins involved in transcellular calcium transport: potential vanillin member 6 (TRPV6), calcium-binding protein-D9K (CaBP-D9k), sodium-calcium Exchanger 1 (NCX1), and plasma membrane calcium ATPase 1 (PMCA1) [1].

Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine is the major metabolite for Cyclophosphamide , with anticancer activitiy. Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine induces DNA adduct formation in ovarian granulosa cells, induces DNA damage and elicits the ovarian DNA repair response[1][2]. Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine causes cytotoxicity through forming cross-linked DNA adducts which inhibit DNA strand separation during replication[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine destroys rapidly dividing cells by forming NOR-G-OH, NOR-G and G-NOR-G adducts with DNA, potentially leading to DNA damage[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 48 hours) reduces cell viability in rat spontaneously immortalized granulosa cells (SIGCs)[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 24-48 hours) induces DNA adduct formation[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 24-48 hours) induces ovarian DNA damage in rat ovaries[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine increases DNA damage responses (DDR) gene (Atm, Parp1, Prkdc, Xrcc6, Brca1, Rad51) mRNA expression level[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 24-48 hours) increased DDR proteins[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: SIGCs Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (2.1-20.7 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 5 days) inhibits subcutaneous tumor growth in rats[2].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (86.0 mg/kg; i.v.) has a plasma disappearance half-life of 15.1 minutes[2].

AF3442 is a potent and selective mPGES-1 inhibitor (microsomal prostaglandin (PG) E synthase-1). AF3442 caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of PGE(2) in human recombinant mPGES-1 with an IC(50) of 0.06microM. AF3442 is a selective mPGES-1 inhibitor which reduced monocyte PGE(2) generation also in the presence of plasma proteins. Pharmacological inhibition of mPGES-1 did not translate into redirection of PGH(2) metabolism towards other terminal PG synthases in monocytes. The functional relevance of this observation deserves to be investigated in vivo.

Diazodiiodoarsenic acid was used to isolate plasma membrane proteins from platelets by means of affinity chromatography.

Using specific antisera raised against synthetic peptides, we find that three distinct GTP-binding protein alpha subunits remain bound to the plasma membrane even after activation with nonhydrolyzable GTP analog. Trypsin cleaves each alpha subunit at a si

Cholesteryl linoleate is the major cholesteryl ester in LDL and atherosclerotic lesions. It is present in LDL as a cholesteryl ester that is oxidized to form cholesteryl linoleate hydroperoxides using LDL receptor-associated proteins that are transferred to the plasma membranes of macrophages and CHO cells expressing 15-lipoxygenase.

Endosidin-2 is an exocyst inhibitor, a cell-permeable benzylidene benzoylhydrazine, that binds to the exocyst component of the 70 kDa (EXO70) subunit of the exocyst complex (Kd = 253 μM, EXO70A1).Endosidin-2 disrupts protein translocation between the endosomes and plasma membrane, thereby facilitating translocation of proteins to the vesicle for degradation. It also inhibits recirculation of endocytosed transferrin to the plasma membrane in HeLa cells and targets multiple isoforms of mammalian EXO70, leading to dysregulation of exocytosis.Endosidin2 can be used as a tool molecule to study cytosolization.

Amyloid A proteins (H2N-Ala-Gly-Leu-Pro-Glu-Lys-Tyr-OH) are a family of apolipoproteins associated with high-density lipoprotein in plasma. Different isoforms of SAA are expressed constitutively at different levels or in response to inflammatory stimuli.

3-Chloro-L-Tyrosine (Chlorotyrosine), a specific marker of myeloperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation, is markedly elevated in low-density lipoprotein isolated from human atherosclerotic intima. In particular, myeloperoxidase halogenates tyrosine residues in plasma proteins and generates 3-chlorotyrosine (CY). The detection of free chlorotyrosine in blood or urine arises from the degradation of these chlorinated proteins. CY concentrations may be useful for monitoring the activation of neutrophils in asthmatic patients.

N-Desmethyl-Apalutamide is a less potent antagonist of the androgen receptor, is an active Apalutamide metabolite.

Iothalamate meglumine, known as radiopaque medium, can be used for urography, angiography, venography, and myelography. It is highly viscous and can bind to plasma proteins.

CP-609754 (LNK-754) is a potent and reversible farnesyltransferase inhibitor with potential anticancer activity.The IC50 for inhibiting farnesylation of recombinant human H-Ras is 0.57 ng/mL and recombinant K-Ras is 46 ng/mL[1]. CP-609754 (CP-609,754) is a reversible inhibitor of farnesyltransferase with a slow on/off rate. CP-609,754 inhibits farnesylation (IC50=1.72 ng/mL) of mutant H-Ras in 3T3 H-ras (61L)-transfected cell lines with SDS-PAGE analysis of [35S]methionine-labeled material[1].CP-609754 is competitive for the prenyl acceptor (H-Ras protein) and noncompetitive for the prenyl donor farnesyl PPI. CP-609754 interacts with the farnesyltransferase-farnesyl PPI complex and competes for the binding of the Ras protein. CP-609754 selectively inhibits farnesylation of both H- and K-Ras proteins in 3T3 transfectants[1]. CP-609754 (CP-609,754) has antitumor activity against 3T3 H-ras (61L) tumors in vivo[1].With twice daily oral dosing of CP-609754, tumor regression is achieved with a dose of 100 mg/kg; the ED50 for tumor growth inhibition is 28 mg/kg[1]. With continuous i.p. infusion of CP-609754, tumor growth is inhibited by >50%, and tumor farnesyltransferase activity inhibited by >30% in mice in which the plasma concentration of CP-609754 is maintained above 118 ng/mL[1].
