Methicillin sodium salt is the sodium salt form of methicillin, a semisynthetic beta-lactam penicillin antibiotic with beta-lactamase resistant activity.

K6PC-5 is a ceramide derivative that acts as an activator of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), inducing a swift and temporary rise in intracellular calcium levels. With its potential applications in skin diseases associated with abnormal keratinocyte function, as well as in studies on neurodegeneration and virus infection, K6PC-5 presents a promising compound for research purposes.

S-Acetyl-L-glutathione is a derivative of glutathione .1 It increases intracellular GSH levels in primary fibroblasts derived from patients with glutathione synthetase deficiency when used at a concentration of 50 μM. S-Acetyl-L-glutathione (5 mM) induces apoptosis in Daudi, Raji, and Jurkat lymphoma cells.2 It inhibits the replication of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) in human foreskin fibroblasts when used at concentrations of 5 and 10 mM.3 S-Acetyl-L-glutathione (6.25 μg/g per day) increases survival in a mouse model of HSV-1 infection.

GSK812397 is a potent entry inhibitor of X4-tropic strains of HIV-1, as demonstrated in multiple in vitro cellular assays. GSK812397 is a noncompetitive antagonist of the CXCR4 receptor, with GSK812397 producing a concentration-dependent decrease in both an SDF-1-mediated chemotaxis and intracellular calcium release (IC50s were 0.34+ -0.01 nM and 2.41+ -0.50 nM, respectively). GSK812397 is effective against a broad range of X4- and X4R5-utilizing clinical isolates. The potency and efficacy of GSK812397 are dependent on the individual isolate, with complete inhibition of infection observed with 24 of 30 isolates. GSK812397 does not show any detectable in vitro cytotoxicity and was highly selective for CXCR4. GSK812397 shows acceptable pharmacokinetic properties and bioavailability across species. GSK812397 has antiviral activity against a broad range of X4-utilizing strains of HIV-1 via a noncompetitive antagonism of the CXCR4 receptor.

1. Farrerol has antioxidative activity.2. Farrerol modulates TAP and BNBD5 gene expression in mammary gland, enhances bMEC defense against S. aureus infection and could be useful in protection against bovine mastitis. 3. Farrerol inactivates KEAP-1 or act

ent-Abacavir is an enatiomer of Abacavir. Abacavir is a carbocyclic 2'-deoxyguanosine nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and an anti-HIV drug used to treat HIV infection. Intracellular enzymes convert Abacavir to its active form, carbovir-triphosphate (CBV-TP), which then selectively inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase by incorporating into viral DNA. Abacavir is metabolized in the liver by uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase and alcohol dehydrogenase resulting in inactive glucuronide and carboxylate metabolites, respectively.

Influenza NP (311-325) is a biologically active peptide consisting of amino acids 311 to 325 from the influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP). As a bona fide MHC class II-restricted epitope, it is critical for studying host immune responses during viral infection, inducing robust gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) production in intracellular cytokine assays without stimulating CD8 T-cells in mice. The presence of Glutamine (Q) or Glutamic acid (E) at the N-terminus can lead to spontaneous formation of Pyroglutamyl (pGlu) peptides, enhancing peptide stability against gastrointestinal proteases. These peptides are considered a normal variant and included in peptide purity measurements in HPLC analysis.
