Alloxan Monohydrate is a diabetogenic agent that acts as a proteasome inhibitor and induces diabetes in experimental animals by damaging the insulin-secreting β-cells in the pancreas. It is commonly used to establish diabetes models.

Bleomycin sulfate is a glycopeptide antibiotic with antitumor activity. It is commonly used as a DNA-damaging agent and DNA synthesis inhibitor. It functions by inducing DNA strand breaks without affecting RNA strands. Bleomycin sulfate is widely used in cancer research and for establishing pulmonary fibrosis animal models.

Bleomycin hydrochloride is a glycopeptide antibiotic and a DNA synthesis inhibitor. Bleomycin Sulfate can cause DNA strand breaks but not RNA strand breaks. Bleomycin Sulfate has anti-tumor activity.

Hygromycin B (Hygrovetine) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells by interfering with translocation and causing mistranslation by the 70S ribosome. It is commonly used for the selection of cells transfected with the hph or hyg resistance gene.

Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist and IL receptor modulator with anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and apoptosis-inducing activities. It inhibits the production of inflammatory miRNA-155 exosomes in macrophages, significantly reduces inflammatory cytokine expression in neutrophils and monocytes, suppresses LPS-induced macrophage inflammation, and induces autophagy. It is commonly used to induce animal models of depression, muscle atrophy, and hypertension, and holds potential in COVID-19 research.

Streptozotocin (Streptozocin, NSC-85998) is an antibiotic that enters pancreatic β-cells via the glucose transporter (GLUT2) and induces DNA methylation, leading to β-cell apoptosis. It is toxic to insulin-producing cells and commonly used to establish diabetic animal models. This product is unstable in solution and is recommended to be prepared freshly before use.

G6PI 325-339 (human) is an effective reagent for inducing arthritis in B10.Q mice. It triggers cross-reactive Th1 and Th17 cell responses against the mouse G6PI protein and can be used to induce an arthritis model through T and B cell-dependent pathways, although it does not involve antibody-mediated mechanisms.
