Farnesoic acid ((2E 6E)-3 7 11-trimethyldodeca-2 6 10-trienoic acid) is the substrate of farnesoic acid O-methyltransferase which produces the crustacean reproductive hormone methyl farnesoate (MF). MF is responsible for enhancing reproductive maturation maintaining juvenile morphology and influencing male sex determination. Farnesoic acid also inhibits filiment formation in C. albicans.

Methyl farnesoate (MF) is a crustacean reproductive hormone that is structurally similar to insect juvenile hormone. It is responsible for enhancing reproductive maturation maintaining juvenile morphology and influencing male sex determination. Exposure of female Daphnids to increasing levels of MF increases the percentage of males in a brood in a dose-dependant manner. MF is endogenously produced in the mandibular organ and environmental factors such as salinity and temperature can influence hemolyph levels.

Nanocs provides a variety of chemically functionalized and bioconjugated dextran products with molecular weight ranged from 3,000 Da to 2,000 KDa. These functional dextrans were purified by size chromatography to remove non-conjugated molecules and ensure adequate applications both in-vitro and in-vivo. Dextrans are naturally synthesized polysaccharides with good water solubility, low toxicity and varied molecular weights. Dextrans modified with dyes and other biomolecules have been successfully used as long-term tracers for live cells.

This novel and selective probe for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) 7-azido-4-methylcoumarin (AzMC) is useful for monitoring cystathionine B-synthase (CBS) catalyzed reactions which play a critical role in human sulfur metabolism. Deactivated CBS is characterized by high plasma levels of homocysteine and H2S resulting in clinical manifestations of numerous disease states. AzMC used as a fluorgenic probe and concurrent CBS activity can be used to select compounds for activation or inhibition of this enzyme and is suitable for high-throughput screening and the development of potential therapeutics. In addition AzMC has been used as a photoaffinitry probe for the substrate binding site of human phenol sulfotransferase (SULT1A-1 or P-PST-1).Featured in References1. M.K. Thorson T. Majtan J.P.

C6NIB is a fluorescence turn-on sensor that is suited for trace vapor detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The sensor mechanism is based on H2O2-mediated oxidation of the boronate fluorophore C6NIB which is nonfluorescent in the ICT band but is strongly fluorescent upon conversion to the phenol (C6NIO). The fluorescence turn-on reaction is extremely sensitive towards H2O2 with no sensor response to other common reagents. The negligible fluorescence background of C6NIB combined with the high fluorescent emission of C6NIO makes it an ideal candidate for efficient sensing. Dispersing C6NIB with TBAH into a silica gel matrix produces a highly efficient sensor for vapor detection of H2O2 in terms of detection limit (2.9 ppb) and response time (1 sec. under 1 ppm H2O2).References:M.

Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) regulates responses to hypoxia and is comprised of two subunits alpha and beta. Upon cellular exposure to hypoxic conditions the HIF complex (alpha and beta subunits) is stabilized and binds to DNA transcriptionally activating genes linked to the cellular processes of angiogenesis and glucose metabolism1. Under normal conditions the HIF-alpha subunit is hydroxylated by the enzyme HIF-alpha prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) leading to ubiquitylation of HIF-alpha and subsequent destruction2. DMOG (dimethyloxalylglycine) is a cell permeable competitive inhibitor of HIF-alpha prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) leading to the stabilization of HIF and subsequent angiogenesis and glucose metabolism at concentrations between 0.1 and 1 mM3 4References1) Ivan M.
