Brilliant green, a cationic dye, is utilized for coloring silk and wool. Additionally, it halts the propagation of mold, intestinal parasites, and fungus, proving effective against Gram-positive bacteria [1] [2].
Quinacrine is a compound that is commonly used as an anti-protozoal agent. It inhibits voltage-dependent sodium channels (IC50: 3.3 μM) and suppresses aldehyde oxidase (IC50: 3.3 μM). Quinacrine prevents misfolding of prion protein (EC50: 0.3 μM). As an e
VGD020 is a CD4 and sortilin inhibitor. It displayed activity for sortilin down-modulation and reduction of progranulin-induced breast cancer stem cell propagation.
Covidcil-19 binds to the revised attenuator hairpin structure of the SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting element (FSE) with high affinity (Kd = 11 nM). It stabilizes the hairpin's folded state and reduces frameshifting efficiency in cells. Covidcil-19 inhibits viral propagation and reduces viral infectivity by > 3.5 orders of magnitude.
Potent Smo antagonist (IC50 = 5 nM). Attenuates the leukemia-initiation potential of AML cells in a serial transplantation mouse model. Also eliminates self-propagation capacity of AML cells.

Phosphatidylethanolamine is the most abundant phospholipid in prokaryotes and the second most abundant found in the membrane of mammalian, plant, and yeast cells, comprising approximately 25% of total mammalian phospholipids. In the brain, phosphatidylethanolamine comprises almost half of the total phospholipids. It is synthesized mainly through the cytidine diphosphate-ethanolamine and phosphatidylserine decarboxylation pathways, which occur in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial membranes, respectively. It is a precursor in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and arachidonoyl ethanolamide and is a source of ethanolamine used in various cellular functions. In E. coli, phosphatidylethanolamine deficiency prevents proper assembly of lactose permease, suggesting a role as a lipid chaperone. It is a cofactor in the propagation of prions in vitro and can convert recombinant mammalian proteins into infectious molecules even in the absence of RNA. Phosphatidylethanolamines (soy) is a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamines isolated from soy with various fatty acyl groups at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions.
