γ-secretase inhibitor; inhibits notch signaling

As a synthetic trifluorinated glucocorticoid receptor agonist, Fluticasone exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. When binding to and activating glucocorticoid receptors, Fluticasone initiates the activation of lipocortin which inhibits cytosolic phospholipase A2. Consequently, the cascade of inflammatory mediator synthesis reactions are inactivated and the production of inflammatory cells namely mast cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and eosinophils and the cytokines that they produce are greatly reduced.It is this anti-inflammatory role which has enabled Fluticasone to successfully treat conditions such as asthma, emphysema, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. It has also been seen to increase anti-inflammatory effects of annexoin-1 and mitogen-activated kinase phosphatase-1; reduce mucus gland secretions and increase the number of beta-2 receptors on smooth muscles of the airways.

With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.

Melatonin is a neurotransmitter produced by the pineal gland that is involved in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. It can be used to treat several conditions like shift work disorders, insomnia, jet lag, and alterations of the circadian rhythm. Some authors also proposed the use of melatonin against cognitive disorders. In an interesting research conducted on zebrafish, it was found that memory formation occurs better during daytime compared to nighttime, suggesting a role of melatonin in this process. When melatonin was administered during the daytime it caused reduced memory formation. On the contrary, removing the pineal gland or treating the fish with a melatonin antagonist significantly improves nighttime memory formation.

Dopamine D2 receptor antagonist

S26131 is an advanced glycation end product (AGE) inhibitor, which is a synthetic compound designed for laboratory research purposes. It is derived from chemical synthesis processes, offering a robust tool for investigating the biochemical pathways associated with glycation. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of AGE formation, which is a post-translational modification resulting from the non-enzymatic reaction between sugars and proteins or lipids. This biochemical modulation is vital for studying the implications of glycation in various physiological and pathological contexts.

Positive allosteric modulator of the metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR5 with EC50 in submicromolar range. The compound is able to increase mGluR5 function in vitro and in vivo. A study showed that ADX-47273 enhanced fear extinction learning as well as improved reversal learning in experimental animals.

Nilotinib is a kinase inhibitor that is used for the treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). This drug is also used for the treatment of CML that is resistant to imatinib. Nilotinib inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of the BCR-ABL protein. It also inhibits PDGFR and c-kit.
