Aladdin provides a wide selection of bioactive antipsychotic and antidepressant compounds for use in research models. Many of these agents influence dopamine signaling by blocking one or more dopamine receptor subtypes or inhibiting dopamine transporters. Our catalog includes first-generation ...
Aurora kinases are a family of enzymes that regulate key events in cell cycle progression. During mitosis, they are essential for proper chromosome segregation and the completion of cytokinesis. In many cancers, aurora kinases are overexpressed, promoting tumor growth and making them attractive ...
Bexarotene is a retinoid compound with high specificity for retinoid X receptors (RXRs). It is approved as a chemotherapeutic for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and has also been investigated for its potential therapeutic role in Alzheimer’s disease.
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter present in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) across many species. It is one of several neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system and is the sole neurotransmitter used in the motor division of the somatic ...
Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) refers to the phenomenon where certain organic luminescent molecules (fluorescent dyes) exhibit enhanced light emission in the aggregated or solid-state compared to their solution state.
Exendin-4（E107854） is a peptide that functions as an agonist at the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. It was originally identified in the venom of Heloderma suspectum (the Gila monster). GLP-1 itself is an endogenous peptide that promotes glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Acting ...
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) raise serotonin levels in the brain by binding to serotonin transporters and preventing its reuptake into presynaptic neurons. Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, appetite, memory, reward pathways, and sleep cycles.
Galantamine Hydrobromide is the pharmaceutical form of galantamine, which is a naturally occurring alkaloid originally isolated from plants in the Amaryllidaceae family — notably Galanthus woronowii (commonly called Woronow’s snowdrop).
