Agomelatine (S-20098) L(+)-Tartaric acid is a specific agonist of MT1 and MT2 receptors (Kis: 0.1, 0.06, 0.12, and 0.27 nM for CHO-hMT1, HEK-hMT1, CHO-hMT2, and HEK-hMT2). It also is a selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist (pKis: 6.4 and 6.2 at native (porcine) and cloned (human) 5-HT2C receptors).
1-(3',5'-dimethoxy)phenyl-2-[4''-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (6→1)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl]phenylethane showed cytotoxic activities to Hela and hep2 cell lines.
L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate can be used as a culture medium supplement for the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells (hASCs). L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate increases alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and expression of runx2A in hASCs during the osteogenic differentiation. L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate is a long-acting vitamin C derivative that can stimulate collagen formation and expression.
L-Diguluronic acid, a linear polysaccharide copolymer consisting of two L-guluronic acid (G) units, serves as a precursor for Alginate[1], a categorically unbranched polyanionic polysaccharide. Alginate finds application in the development of antifungal agent delivery carriers[2].
Vanilmandelic acid, L-(+)- is a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of artificial vanilla flavorings and is an end-stage metabolite of the catecholamines, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. It is produced via intermediary metabolites.
The use of costic acid and other components from the plant Dittrichia viscosa (Greek: aconiza) and related species for the preparation of acaricidal products used against the acari Varroa destructor as parasite of the honey bee.
