1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE-N-(cap biotin) is a biotinylated phospholipid. It has been used in PEGylated polyamidoamine-dendrimer-conjugated supported lipid bilayers (SLB) to isolate circulating tumor cells and tumor cell microembolis from patient-derived blood by antibody-coated microfluidics. [1] It has also been used as a component of SLBs to detect protein-ligand binding with ortho-conjugated Texas Red DHPE. [2] In addition, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE-N-(cap biotin) has been used in SLBs partitioned into nanowells to create DNA curtains, which can be used as a high-throughput tool for detection of protein-DNA interactions at the single molecule level.[3]
7-Methylguanosine 5’-diphosphate (7-Methyl-GDP) sodium, a cap analog, can be used in the synthesis of mRNA cap analogues[1]. 7-Methylguanosine 5’-diphosphate sodium inhibits binding of eukaryotic initiation factors to reovirus capped mRNA and complex formation involving uncapped mRNA or 18 S rRNA[1].T. brucei mRNA decapping enzyme (TbDcp2) that cleaves 7-Methylguanosine 5’-diphosphate sodium from capped RNA to generate pRNA, a substrate for TbCe1[2].

Methyl brevifolincarboxylate (Brevifolincarboxylic acid methyl ester) is a potent influenza virus PB2 cap-binding inhibitor. Methyl brevifolincarboxylate exhibits inhibitory activity against influenza virus A Puerto Rico 8 34 (H1N1) and A Aichi 2 68 (H3N2) with IC50s of 27.16 μM and 33.41 μM. Anti-oxidant activity[1][2]. Methyl brevifolincarboxylate exhibits significant DPPH radical scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 8.9 μM. [1]. Wu QY, et al.

Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is a class I and class II histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that binds directly to the catalytic site of the enzyme thereby blocking substrate access. [1] coumarin-Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (c-SAHA) is a SAHA derivative where the anilino cap group is replaced by 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin to produce a fluorescent probe that competitively binds HDAC. [2] The fluorescence excitation and emission maxima of free c-SAHA is 325 and 400 nm
