Cathinone, the main psychoactive alkaloid from the khat plant (C. edulis), is a potent central stimulant and a naturally occurring analog of amphetamine. Cathinone, the main psychoactive alkaloid from the khat plant (C. edulis), is a potent central stimulant and a naturally occurring analog of amphetamine. (−)-(S)-Cathinone is several times more potent than its (+)-isomer, and its absolute stereochemistry is identical to that of (+)-(S)-amphetamine.{20224} Like amphetamine, (−)-(S)-cathinone is a potent releaser of norepinephrine and dopamine from their intracellular stores.{21931,21932} With an ED50 value of 0.42 μmol/kg, (−)-(S)-cathinone produces amphetamine-like stimulus effects in rats trained to discriminate 1 mg/kg of (+)-(S)-amphetamine from vehicle.{20224} This product is intended for research and forensic applications.

    SC-1 – 5 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.
