7-O-(Triethylsilyl) paclitaxel is a synthetic Taxol analog. It is manufactured by custom synthesis and purified by HPLC to be used as an analytical standard for the determination of natural Taxol impurities in drug products.

N-Debenzoyl-N-hexanoylpaclitaxel (DHBPTx) is an analog of paclitaxel. It inhibits cell proliferation by binding to the diketone group at the C-10 position of baccatin III, which inhibits the synthesis of taxol and other natural products with a diketone group at this position. DHBPTx is effective against colorectal carcinoma cells in culture, but has not been tested in vivo. This drug has also been shown to be effective against breast cancer cells that express high levels of 10-deacetylase activity. It is metabolized into 10-deacetylbaccatin III, which binds to cellular protein kinase C and causes inhibition of mitosis and apoptosis. In addition, DHBPTx can be conjugated with other drugs such as doxorubicin or vincristine to increase their effectiveness.

Midostaurin Impurity 2 is a drug product that has been custom synthesized by our scientists. It is of high purity, and is used in analytical studies to understand its metabolism. This impurity also plays a role in drug development and pharmacopoeia. It can be found under CAS No. 155848-20-7, and has the molecular formula C10H16N4O2S. This compound has an analytical standard at HPLC, which can be used to make sure that it's purity meets FDA standards for research and development purposes.

Campesterol is a plant sterol that lowers cholesterol, has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, and can help with specific prostate conditions.

Fenchone (AI3-00736) is a monoterpene found in plants with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal and anti-injury activities.
