LXQ-87 is an orally administered, non-competitive inhibitor of PTP1B with an IC50 of 1.061 μM, demonstrating hypoglycemic activity. It alleviates insulin resistance and enhances cellular glucose uptake, making it useful for type 2 diabetes research.

BHQ-880, a humanized antibody expressed in CHO cells, targets DKK1. The predicted molecular weight (MW) of BHQ-880 is 142.96 kDa. For an isotype control, refer to HumanIgG1kappa, Isotype Control.

2-Hydroxyanthraquinone is an anthraquinone that has been found inSpermacoce latifoliaand has antibacterial and estrogenic activities.1,2It is active againstB. subtilisandB. cereus(MICs = 1.9 and 62.5 μg ml, respectively).12-Hydroxyanthraquinone (19 μM) induces estrogen receptor α (ERα) activation in a yeast two-hybrid assay.2 1.Luo, Y., Shen, H.-Y., Shen, Q.-X., et al.A new anthraquinone and a new naphthoquinone from the whole plant of Spermacoce latifoliJ.

Q-VD-OPH (Quinoline-Val-Asp-Difluorophenoxymethylketone) is a pan-caspase inhibitor with potent antiapoptotic properties.

Q8 is an antagonist of cysteinyl leukotreine receptor. Q8 inhibits VEGF-independent angiogenesis.

β-Defensin-1 is a peptide with antimicrobial properties that protects the skin and mucosal membranes of the respiratory, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts.1It inhibits the growth ofB. adolescentis,L. acidophilus,B. breve,B. vulgatus,L. fermentum,B. longum, andS. thermophilusin an antimicrobial radial diffusion assay.2β-Defensin-1 also inhibits the growth of periodontopathogenic and cariogenic bacteria, includingP. gingivalisandS. salivarius, and of susceptibleM. tuberculosisH37Rv but not of resistantM. tuberculosisRM22 when used at a concentration of 128 μg/ml.3,4It blocks human and mouse Kv1.3 voltage-gated potassium channels (IC50s = 11.8 and 13.2 μM, respectively).5Overexpression of β-defensin-1 in the human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines HSC-3, UM-1, and SCC-9 increases migration and invasion but not proliferation.6 1.Lehrer, R.I.Primate defensinsNat.
