α-Spinasterol is a bioavailable phytosterol originally isolated from spinach that acts as an antagonist at the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor (IC50 = 1.4 µM).{39108,39112} It has antinociceptive effects in a noxious heat-induced pain test and also reduces hyperalgesia and edema in a complete Freund’s adjuvant-induced inflammatory pain test in mice at a dose of 0.3 µmol/kg. α-Spinastrerol increases the seizure threshold in a dose-dependent manner and reduces depressive-like behavior in mice.{39110,39111} It also has anti-inflammatory activity in vivo and inhibits benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats.{39107,39109}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 50 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.

    CAY10512 – 50 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
