L-Selenocystine (L-Selenocystine) can be used as a building block in biologically active selenol compounds.

Atherosperminine shows cholinesterase inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Atherosperminine shows strong anti-plasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, with the IC50 value of 5.80 uM, it also s

β-Carotene (Provitamin A) is a naturally-occurring retinol (vitamin A) precursor obtained from certain fruits and vegetables with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. As an anti-oxidant, beta carotene inhibits free-radical damage to DNA.

1. Raspberry ketone (p-Hydroxybenzyl acetone) is cytotoxic to melanocytes through the binding of RK-derived quinones to thiol proteins and the pro-oxidant activity of the RK-oligomer, the exposure of human skin to RK can cause chemical/occupational leukoderma. 2. Raspberry ketone is marketed on the Internet as a food supplement.

β-Carotene-13C10 is a form of β-Carotene (T1633) labeled with 13C. It is a carotenoid compound and serves as a natural precursor to vitamin A. This compound acts as a regulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS), exhibiting both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Depending on its intrinsic characteristics and the redox potential of the biological environment, β-Carotene (T1633) can function either as an antioxidant or a pro-oxidant. It also possesses anticancer activity, inducing apoptosis in breast cancer cells.

(+/-)-Rhododendrol, is an aromatic compound that may be useful in hepatic disease research contexts. (+/-)-Rhododendrol, is a known pro-oxidant that can be toxic to melanocytes and is therefore used in oxidative stress and melanocyte biology research systems to investigate redox imbalance, cellular toxicity mechanisms, and pigment cell susceptibility in vitro.

1. Kirenol (Kirel) has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-arthritic activities. 2. Kirenol is effective against gram-positive bacteria. 3. Kirenol possesses antitumor action on human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells in vitro. 4. Kirenol is capable of promoting osteoblast differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells through activation of the BMP and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. 5. Kirenol treatment reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, increases anti-inflammatory cytokine production, inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis of CII-specific lymphocytes in vitro.

AMP423 is a naphthyl derivative of 2-cyanoaziridine-1-carboxamide with structural similarity to the pro-oxidant anti-tumor agent imexon. AMP423 was active in SCID mice bearing 8226/S myeloma and SU-DHL-6 B-cell lymphoma tumors, with a median tumor growth delay (T-C) of 21 days (P = 0.0002) and 5 days (P = 0.004), respectively, and a median tumor growth inhibition (T/C) of 33.3% (P = 0.03) and 82% (P = 0.01), respectively. In non-tumor-bearing mice, AMP423 was not myelosuppressive.

PAA5, a methide carbon-centered polynuclear gold(I) (Au(I)) cluster, exhibits anticancer activity by releasing Au(I) to induce a pro-oxidant response and accelerated ferroptosis. Additionally, PAA5 increases the expression of pH2AX in a time-dependent manner, further contributing to its anticancer properties [1].

Ganoderic acid T1, a deacetylated derivative of Ganoderic acid T, diminishes mitochondrial membrane potential and triggers cell apoptosis by activating caspase-9 and caspase-3, thus impairing the antioxidant defense system of cancer cells. Additionally, it elevates intracellular ROS levels, yielding pro-oxidant activities and cytotoxicity [1].

4-Methyldaphnetin (DHMC) is a potent inhibitor (low micromolar) of lipid peroxidation and scavengers of superoxide anion radicals and of aqueous alkylperoxyl radicals, but may be pro-oxidant (enhancing generation of hydroxyl radicals) in the presence of free iron ions.2. 4-Methyldaphnetin(7,8-Dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin) inhibits the proinflammatory 5-lipoxygenase enzyme at micromolar concentrations.

β-Carotene (Standard) is the reference standard of β-carotene, applicable to quantitative analysis, quality control, biochemical experiments, and related research. As a carotenoid, β-carotene is a natural precursor of vitamin A and acts as a reactive oxygen species modulator with both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Its antioxidant or pro-oxidant effects depend on its intrinsic properties and the redox status of the biological microenvironment. In addition, β-carotene can induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells and shows certain antitumor activity.
