p-nitro-Pifithrin-α is a cell-permeable analog of pifithrin-α, a potent p53 inhibitor. It suppresses p53-mediated TGF-β1 expression in HK-2 cells and inhibits the activation of caspase-3 by Zika virus (ZIKV) strains. Moreover, p-nitro-Pifithrin-α attenuates steatosis and liver injury in mice subjected to a high-fat diet, mitigating the effects of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [1] [2] [3] [4].
Tripalmitolein is a triacylglycerol that contains palmitoleic acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions. It reduces red blood cell deformability in a concentration-dependent manner in a Reid's filtration assay. Hepatic levels of 1,2,3-tripalmitoleoyl-rac-glycerol are increased in the JAK2L mouse model of hepatic steatosis. Tripalmitolein plasma levels are decreased in renal patients before dialysis.
1-Pentadecanoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglycerol that contains pentadecanoic acid at the sn-1 position. It has been found in wheat bran extracts.1 1-Pentadecanoyl-rac-glycerol levels are increased in a HepaRG cell-based model of hepatic steatosis induced by BSA-conjugated palmitate.2

Ethoxyquin dimer is an antioxidant and metabolite of ethoxyquin .1 It prevents oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish meal and fish oil. Dietary administration of ethoxyquin dimer (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% w/w) induces microvesicular steatosis and hepatocyte necrosis, as well as increases liver levels of oxidized glutathione and total lipids in mice.2
