Bebeerine is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences and the catalog number is T131610.

Royal Jelly acid (Queen Bee Acid) inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis, cell migration, and proliferation.

Spirostan-3-ol (Sarsaponin) is a stereoisomer of Sarsasapogenin (S142505), a steroid glycoside isolated from plant materials. A saponin with with potential anti-tumor activity via apoptosis.

Melittin, a small protein containing 26 amino acid residues, is the principal toxic component of bee venom. Melittin is a PLA2 activator, stimulates the activity of the low molecular weight PLA2, while it does not the increase activity of the high molecul

Luffariellolide is a terpene compound obtained from the marine sponge Hyrtios communis. It is an inhibitor of human synoviocyte protein phospholipase A2 (HSF-PLA2) and a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist. Luffariellolide inhibits hypoxia (1% O2)-induced HIF-1 activation and inhibits cell growth.

(9Z)-Tricosene is a pheromone released by insects, including D. melanogaster, M. domestica (house fly), and A. mellifera L. (honey bee). In Drosophila, it induces aggregation behavior and is an oviposition guidance cue for females. Due to its aggregation-inducing activity, it is used as a bait pesticide to attract insects to traps. The mechanism of action in Drosophila is the activation of antennal basiconic Or7a receptors. It is also highly produced by honey bees during the waggle dance, which is a complex communication process used to alert nest-mates of the location and profitability of a food source. When injected into a hive, (9Z)-tricosene induced foraging behavior.

MCF, an antimicrobial peptide originating from bee venom, exhibits activity against E. coli W 160-37, S. aureus 8530, and B. subtilis, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 35-45 μg ml, 25-35 μg ml, and 15-25 μg ml, respectively [1].

(2S,3S,4R,2'R )-2-(2'-Hydroxytetracosanoylamino) octadecane-1,3,4-triol at concentration of 100 ug/mL shows selectively inhibitory activity against phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2) secreted from Crotalus adamenteus venom, but inactive against PLA 2 of bee venom

The use of costic acid and other components from the plant Dittrichia viscosa (Greek: aconiza) and related species for the preparation of acaricidal products used against the acari Varroa destructor as parasite of the honey bee.

Masticadienolic acid is a specific competitive inhibitor of secreted phospholipase A2, it not only protects the active site histidine from alkylation but also inhibits the action of secreted from pancreas, synovial fluid, and bee venom. Masticadienolic ac

Melittin TFA is a small protein containing 26 amino acid residues, is the principal toxic component of bee venom. Melittin is a PLA2 activator, stimulates the activity of the low molecular weight PLA2, while it does not the increase activity of the high m

Mast Cell Degranulating Peptide HR-2 acetate from giant hornet Vespa orientalis that has biological effects similar to mast cell degranulating peptide from bee venom.
