<p>1-(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl) 2-nitropropene (1-MPNP) is a phosphatase inhibitor that is active against gram-negative bacteria by inhibiting enterotoxins and chlamydia. 1-MPNP inhibits the activity of tyrosine phosphatases, which are enzymes that play a major role in bacterial virulence. 1-MPNP competitively inhibits the activity of tyrosine phosphatases and prevents them from catalyzing the hydrolysis of polyphosphate substrates. This inhibition leads to an accumulation of polyphosphates in the bacterial cell membrane, which disrupts its permeability and leads to cell death.</p>

<p>Antimicrobial cationic peptide; used for microscopy glass slides coating</p>

<p>7-[5-(Fluoro-methyl-phosphoryl)oxypentyl]-4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole is a reactivator of the central nervous system. It is a noncompetitive antagonist at muscarinic receptors and blocks postsynaptic acetylcholine release from cholinergic neurons. It has been shown to have no effect on blood pressure but does cause an increase in locomotor activity in animals. This drug binds to the hippocampal formation and the ventral hippocampus, which are areas of the brain that are involved in memory and spatial navigation. The distribution of this drug postulated to be due to its ability to penetrate micron sized openings in cell membranes.</p>

<p>Poly epsilon L-lysine HCl is a water soluble, biodegradable, cationic peptide that can be produced via fermentation by Streptomyces albulus. It shows a wide range of antimicrobial activity against microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and molds and is stable at high temperatures and under both acidic and alkaline conditions. This non-toxic poly-L-lysine is commonly used as a supplement or preservative in various food, beverage and cosmetics products. It can also be used for microscopy glass slides coating.</p>

<p>1-[3-(Fluoro-Methylphosphoryl)Oxypropyl]Pyrene is a fluorescent derivative of pyrene. It has been used to label DNA and proteins for experiments involving fluorescence. The fluorophores in 1-[3-(Fluoro-Methylphosphoryl)Oxypropyl]Pyrene are activated by laser light, which causes emission of light at a wavelength of 590 nm. The emission spectrum of 1-[3-(Fluoro-Methylphosphoryl)Oxypropyl]Pyrene is sensitive to the environment and changes with chemical modification.</p>

<p>Gly-Asp-OH is a medicine that has proliferative activity. It is also an immunoregulatory and biologically active substance, which suppresses the production of cytokines IL-10 in mononuclear cells. Gly-Asp-OH is a synthetic compound with medicinal properties. The structure of this compound was elucidated by chemical analysis and spectroscopic methods. It can be used as an anti-inflammatory agent or to prevent cell death induced by necrosis or apoptosis.</p>

<p>(Fluoro-Methylphosphoryl)Oxycyclohexane is an organophosphorus compound that acts as a nerve agent. It inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for breaking down acetylcholine, leading to excess cholinergic stimulation. This can cause excessive contraction of muscles or even death. The exposure to (Fluoro-Methylphosphoryl)Oxycyclohexane can be detected by analytical methods such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Oximes are used in the reactivation of acetylcholinesterase and are effective in preventing neuronal death. They bind to the phosphonyl group in (Fluoro-Methylphosphoryl)Oxycyclohexane and prevent it from inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase.</p>
