Se-Methylselenocysteine (Se-MSC) is a potent chemopreventive agent in many test systems and has been shown to inhibit tumor promotion and induce apoptosis.

Tamoxifen is an orally active selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that acts as an estrogen antagonist in breast cells and an agonist in bone, liver, and uterine cells. It can be used to induce gene knockout and liver injury models in mice, and also exhibits multiple biological activities, including activation of Hsp90, induction of autophagy and apoptosis, and inhibition of EBOV and MARV viral infections.

L-Histidine (L-(-)-Histidine) is a semi-essential amino acid (children should obtain it from food) needed in humans for growth and tissue repair, L-Histidine is important for maintenance of myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells and is metabolized to the neurotransmitter histamine. Histamines play many roles in immunity, gastric secretion, and sexual functions. L-Histidine is also required for blood cell manufacture and protects tissues against damage caused by radiation and heavy metals.

Guanine (2-Aminohypoxanthine) is a purine base that is a constituent of nucleotides occurring in nucleic acids.

β-Amyloid (25-35) is a fragment of the Alzheimer’s amyloid beta peptide Aβ(25-35), exhibiting neurotoxic effects and commonly used to establish both cellular and animal models of Alzheimer’s disease.
