Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a myelin protein found in the central nervous system. MOG is a ligand for CD200, which is an inhibitory receptor expressed by astrocytes. It has been shown that MOG can induce the proliferation and differentiation of primary cultures of rat astrocytes in vitro. MOG induces the production of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria and increases the expression of acid-binding protein, which are both important factors in the demyelination process. MOG has also been implicated as a potential factor in the development of multiple sclerosis. Further research into this protein may lead to new treatments or cures for disorders such as encephalomyelitis, nervous system diseases, or even cancer.

Budralazine is a synthetic vasodilator, which is derived from a series of hydrazine analogs, known for their ability to modulate vascular tone. Its mode of action involves the direct relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. This relaxation leads to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and, consequently, a reduction in blood pressure. Intriguingly, Budralazine is thought to selectively target arterioles over veins, making it of particular interest in the study of vascular dynamics and hypertension.

Extraordinary strength of the streptavidin-biotin interaction allows for efficient capturing of even highly dilute targets; however, it makes recovery of proteins from affinity resins challenging. Conventional methods to elute biotinylated proteins from immobilized avidin include the following: (i) denaturation of streptavidin by boiling the resin in a denaturing buffer that may include high concentrations of chaotropic salts, (ii) trypsin digestion of proteins while they are bound to the resin, or (iii) elution of proteins with excess free biotin. These protocols can co-elute contaminant proteins by releasing nonspecifically bound proteins and/or naturally biotinylated proteins concurrently with labeled proteins. In addition, some of these methods can cause elution of high levels of resin-based peptides along with the proteins of interest, resulting in further sample contamination.
Disulfide Biotin Azide probe eliminates a major limitation of the streptavidin-biotin affinity purification. This reagent contains a biotin moiety linked to an azide moiety through a spacer arm containing a cleavable disulfide linker. Captured biomolecules can be efficiently released under mild conditions (50 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol or 1% sodium borohydride) and the small molecular fragment (188.25 Da) left on the labeled protein following cleavage. These features make the cleavable probe especially attractive for use in biomolecular labeling and proteomic studies.

EC 23 is a synthetic retinoid that belongs to the class of chemical compounds called retinoids. Retinoids are natural or synthetic substances that have a high affinity for binding to receptors on the cell surface and activating them. EC 23 has been shown to induce bacterial enzymes that break down long-chain fatty acids, which are toxic to bacteria. It also has been shown to be potent inducers of cellular differentiation in certain animal models, including the mouse embryo eye. EC 23 binds with high affinity to bacterial enzyme and inhibits its activity. It also has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer cells in culture, but not others.

ALX-1393 is a synthetic compound that acts as an inhibitor, specifically targeting the glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1). As a small molecule inhibitor derived from chemical synthesis, it modulates neurotransmitter systems by blocking the reuptake of glycine, an important co-agonist of the NMDA receptor, in the central nervous system. The mode of action of ALX-1393 involves binding to the GlyT1 transporter, thereby increasing the synaptic concentration of glycine. This elevation in glycine levels enhances NMDA receptor function, which is crucial for synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory.

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-dimethylammonium-propane is a cationic lipid, which is a type of synthetic lipid commonly used in biochemical and biophysical research. It is sourced from chemical synthesis, involving the formulation of lipid molecules with specific chemical modifications to confer particular properties. The mode of action of this compound involves its ability to integrate into lipid bilayers and form liposomes. These liposomes can encapsulate nucleic acids, facilitating their delivery into cells by merging with cell membranes, which is crucial for gene delivery applications.
