IC8 is an ionizable cationic lipid. It has been used in combination with other lipids for the formation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Immunization with severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike glycoprotein mRNA in IC8- and manganese-containing LNPs induces IgG responses to SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants in mice.1 Administration of mRNA encoding B7-H3 X CD3 bispecific T cell engaging (BiTE) antibodies in IC8-containing LNPs reduces tumor growth in MV4-11 and A375 mouse xenograft models.
RP101988, the major active metabolite of Ozanimod, is a selective, potent S1PR1 (sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1) agonist, with EC50s of 0.19 nM and 32.8 nM for S1PR1 and S1PR5, respectivlely.
Ampyrone is a metabolite of AMINOPYRINE with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used as a reagent for biochemical reactions producing peroxides or phenols. Ampyrone stimulates LIVER MICROSOMES and is also used to measure extracellular water.
Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is an organic compound used as a component of pesticide formulations. It is a waxy white solid. It is a synergist. That is, despite having no pesticidal activity of its own, it enhances the potency of certain pesticides such as carbamates, pyrethrins, pyrethroids, and rotenone.[1] It is a semisynthetic derivative of safrole.
DC-Chol is a cationic cholesterol derivative. DC-Chol, as a component of lipoplexes with DOPE, has been used for transfection of mRNA into A549 cells without affecting cell viability. Incubation of DC-chol/DOPE liposomes or lipoplexes with human whole blood has no effect on neutrophil elastase or β-thromboglobulin levels or the number of platelets and red and white blood cells, indicating hemocompatibility. DC-Chol has also been widely used in the synthesis of liposomes for the delivery of siRNA, DNA, and chemotherapeutic agents into cells and mice.
