13C15-Nivalenol is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of nivalenol by GC- or LC-MS. Nivalenol is a trichothecene mycotoxin that has been found inFusarium.1It is lethal to mice (LD50= 6.9 mg/kg).2Nivalenol (5, 10, and 15 mg/kg) also induces thymic, splenic, and Peyer's patch cell apoptosis in mice.3 1.Yang, Z., Concannon, J., Ng, K.S., et al.Tetrandrine identified in a small molecule screen to activate mesenchymal stem cells for enhanced immunomodulationSci.

MCF, an antimicrobial peptide originating from bee venom, exhibits activity against E. coli W 160-37, S. aureus 8530, and B. subtilis, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 35-45 μg/ml, 25-35 μg/ml, and 15-25 μg/ml, respectively [1].

Monascuspiloin is a fungal metabolite that has been found inM. pilosusM93-fermented rice.1It induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy in PC3 prostate cancer cells. Monascuspiloin (15-45 μM) decreases viability of PC3 cells and has an additive effect on the reduction in viability of PC3 cells induced by irradiation when used at a concentration of 25 μM. It induces intratumor apoptosis and autophagy and reduces tumor growth in a PC3 mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 40 and 120 mg/kg.2 1.Chiu, H.-W., Fang, W.-H., Chen, Y.-L., et al.Monascuspiloin enhances the radiation sensitivity of human prostate cancer cells by stimulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and inducing autophagyPLoS One7(7)e40462(2012) 2.Chen, R.-J., Hung, C.-M., Chen, Y.-L., et al.Monascuspiloin induces apoptosis and autophagic cell death in human prostate cancer cells via the Akt and AMPK signaling pathwaysJ.
