probe compounds

ML179 is a potent and selective inverse agonist of liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH1, NR5A2) with IC50 of 320 nM.

Flavonol (3-Hydroxyflavone) is a member of the class of compounds known as flavonols. 3-hydroxyflavone can be found in a number of food items such as brassicas, pomegranate, red raspberry, and fenugreek. 3-hydroxyflavone is a chemical compound. It is the backbone of all flavonols, a type of flavonoid. It serves as a model molecule as it possesses an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effect to serve as a fluorescent probe to study membranes for example or intermembrane proteins.

Trisulfo-Cy3 Methyltetrazine is a click chemistry reagent featuring a methyltetrazine group. This methyltetrazine-activated Cy3 probe forms stable covalent bonds with compounds containing TCO through an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction, without the need for a copper catalyst or elevated temperatures.

N3-TFBA-O2Oc is a photochemical probe comprising azide and aryl groups. This type of azidoaryl compound serves as a classical precursor to nitro compounds and has been utilized by Fleet et al as a versatile photophore for probing biological receptors. Specifically, N3-TFBA-O2Oc functions as a photo-crosslinker (λmax=258 nm) in studies involving estrogen receptors and for direct surface coating of carbon and organic polymers. Additionally, as a click chemistry reagent, N3-TFBA-O2Oc contains an azide group that reacts with molecules featuring an alkyne group through a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc). It can also engage in strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions (SPAAC) with molecules that possess DBCO or BCN groups.

trans-4-(Trifluoromethyl)cinnamic acid is a photosensitizing compound. It is used as a reagent in the synthesis of various compounds, such as heterocyclic compounds and pharmaceuticals. It has also been used as a catalyst for organic reactions such as the Heck reaction and the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. It is also used as a fluorescent probe in biological studies to detect and monitor various biomolecules.

6-Methoxyquinoline is a quinoline derivative commonly used as an intermediate in antimicrobial drugs, widely applied in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

Photobiotin (acetate) is a biological probe employed in the investigation of protein interactions and enzymatic reactions among various biochemical processes.
