11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione (NSC-17102) is a steroid mainly found in the adrenal origin (11β-hydroxylase is present in adrenal tissue, but absent in ovarian tissue), which is a 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozymes inhibitor. Measuring plasma 11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione can distinguish the adrenal or ovarian origin of hyperandrogenism with 4-androstenedione increases.

Deserpidine (Harmonyl) is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an ester alkaloid drug isolated from Rauwolfia canescens (family Apocynaceae) with antipsychotic and antihypertensive properties that has been used for the control of high blood pressure and for the relief of psychotic behavior.Deserpidine's mechanism of action is through inhibition of the ATP/Mg2+ pump responsible for the sequestering of neurotransmitters into storage vesicles located in the presynaptic neuron. Deserpidine is a competitive angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Deserpidine also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex.

Norepinephrine is an alkaloid neurotransmitter and an effective adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist that activates α1, α2, and β1 receptors. It is commonly used as a vasoactive agent for the treatment of shock and can also be used to induce cardiomyopathy models.

L-Epinephrine (Standard) is an analytical standard substance commonly used as a reference sample for L-Epinephrine research and analysis. L-Epinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter primarily secreted by the adrenal medulla, acting as an α-adrenergic and β-adrenergic receptor agonist that induces systemic vasoconstriction and cardiac stimulation.

N-trans-p-coumaroyloctopamine (p-coumaroylnoradrenaline) is derived from the tuber tissue of potatoes.

Cortisone Acetate is a synthetic or semisynthetic analog of the naturally occurring cortisone hormone produced by the adrenal glands with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties. Cortisone acetate (NSC-49420) diffuses through the cell membrane and binds to nuclear glucocorticoid receptors. The receptor-ligand complex binds to promotor regions of certain genes and initiates RNA transcription. This results in an induction of synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators.

L-Epinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter primarily secreted by the adrenal medulla, acting as an agonist for α-adrenergic and β-adrenergic receptors, causing systemic vasoconstriction and cardiac stimulation. It is used to treat glaucoma, allergies, and asthma.

Adrenosterone (11-ketoandrostenedione) is a steroid hormone isolated from the adrenal cortex.

Deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, possessing mineralocorticoid activity and serving as a precursor to aldosterone. As an agonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor, DOCA can induce severe kidney damage, including inflammation, fibrosis, glomerular injury, and proteinuria. It is commonly used to establish animal models of chronic kidney injury and hypertension.

Aldosterone, the primary mineralocorticoid, is synthesized and secreted by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in response to activation of the renin-angiotensin system or high dietary potassium.

Deoxycorticosterone (Desoxycortone) is a steroid metabolite produced by the adrenal gland. Deoxycorticosterone is an aldosterone precursor and possesses mineralocorticoid activity.

Cortodoxone (11-Desoxycortisol) is a glucocorticoid steroid hormone that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cortisol in the adrenal gland.

DL-Goitrin is a potent antithyroid compound found naturally in crucifers. DL-Goitrin is responsible for the induction of glutathione S-transferases. DL-Goitrin is a moderate inhibitor of purified bovine adrenal dopamine beta-hydroxylase, leads to a depression of brain norepinephrine and to an elevation of heart and adrenal dopamine.

21-Deoxycortisol is a corticosteroid metabolite of 17-hydroxyprogesterone produced in the adrenal glandvia11-hydroxylation by 11β-hydroxylase.1,2Serum levels of 21-deoxycortisol are elevated in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia that are heterozygous for mutations inCYP2A21, the gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase, and have been used as a biomarker for the detection of 21-hydroxylase deficiencies. 1.Fiet, J., Villette, J.-M., Galons, H., et al.The application of a new highly-sensitive radioimmunoassay for plasma 21-deoxycortisol to the detection of steroid-21-hydroxylase deficiencyAnn.

18-Oxocortisol is a cortisol derivative generated by aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2). It acts as a naturally occurring mineralocorticoid agonist and serves as a biomarker in adrenal vein sampling.

Syringaresinol diglucoside (Syringaresinol-di-O-glucoside) protects the animals from the stress-induced decreases in sex behaviours and in rectal temperature, the stress-induced failure of retrieval of memory, and the stress-induced enlargement of adrenal gland.

Glycerol is an important component of triglycerides (fats and oils) and phospholipids. It is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener, humectant, and in pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, glycerol is used in sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and can be employed to induce acute kidney injury models.

1. Acetylshikonin exhibits weak cytotoxicity against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with IC5 of over 2 microM, exhibits the antiangiogenic and antitumorigenic effects by suppressing proliferation and angiogenic factors. 2. Acetylshikonin inhibits the generation of NADPH oxidase complex in the activation of respiratory burst of PMNs, but does not directly inhibit the activity of NADPH oxidase already generated. 3. Certain shikonin derivatives(such as Acetylshikonin) act as modulators of the Nur77-mediated apoptotic pathway and identify a new shikonin-based lead that targets Nur77 for apoptosis induction. 4. Acetylshikonin, shikonin, and alkannin have accelerative effect on the proliferation of granulation tissue in rats. 5. Acetylshikonin has inhibitory effect on the edematous response is due neither to the release of steroid hormones from the adrenal gland nor to the glucocorticoid activity, but probably partly to the suppression of mast cell degranulation and partly to protection of the vasculature from mediator challenge. 6. Acetylshikonin induces apoptosis of hepatitis B virus X protein-expressing human hepatocellular carcinoma cells via endoplasmic reticulum stress.

11β-Hydroxyandrosterone is a urinary adrenal-derived androgen metabolite in children with CAH.

Vasopressin (argipressin), a cyclic nine-peptide synthesized by hypothalamic neurons, is one of the hormones involved in peptide prohormone synthesis. Vasopressin is involved in the regulation process of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, increasing the amount of solute free water reabsorbed from the renal tubule's colate back into the circulation, narrowing arteries to increase pressure, enhancing the stimulating effect of corticotropin releasing factor to regulate pituitary corticotropin secretion. Vasopressin acts as a neurotransmitter during nerve conduction by binding to specific G-protein-coupled receptors.

DL-Goitrin (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving DL-Goitrin. DL-Goitrin is a potent antithyroid compound found naturally in crucifers. DL-Goitrin is responsible for the induction of glutathione S-transferases. DL-Goitrin is a moderate inhibitor of purified bovine adrenal dopamine beta-hydroxylase, leads to a depression of brain norepinephrine and to an elevation of heart and adrenal dopamine.
