Malachite green oxalate is a triphenylmethane dye which can be used to detect the release of phosphate in enzymatic reactions. Malachite green oxalate is also a potent and selective inhibitor of IKBKE, and inhibits its downstream targets such as IκBα, p65 and IRF3. Malachite green oxalate exhibits antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo.

HS-131 is a dye-tethered inhibitor that targets heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). This compound exhibits the ability to selectively bind to and inhibit Hsp90, facilitating the detection of oncogene-driven breast cancers across various molecular subtypes. HS-131 is a valuable research tool for studying the role of Hsp90 in cancer biology and for developing novel therapeutic strategies targeting breast cancer.

HS-27 is a fluorescently-tethered inhibitor targeting Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90), facilitating the assessment of surface Hsp90 expression on intact tissue specimens. Comprising core elements of SNX-5422 linked through a PEG spacer to a fluorescein derivative, HS-27 selectively binds to ectopically expressed Hsp90. This reagent is particularly valuable in breast cancer research, providing a tool for applications involving visualization and treatment strategies.

Hydroxystilbamidine bis(methanesulfonate), a dye capable of binding to both DNA and RNA, has been found to be a powerful inhibitor of cellular ribonucleases.

Gallocyanine chloride is a DKK1 inhibitor that targets the DKK1/LRP6 interaction, exhibiting an IC50 of 6.38 μM. This compound is relevant for research into Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative tauopathies, as it activates the Wnt signaling pathway and promotes β-catenin accumulation. Additionally, Gallocyanine chloride demonstrates anti-metastatic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic properties, and can serve as a fluorescent probe for the detection of superoxide anion radicals.

Hoechst 34580 tetrahydrochloride is a nuclear marker dye that selectively targets A/T-rich double-stranded DNA. This compound exhibits enhanced fluorescence intensity when bound to nucleic acids, making it valuable for live cell labeling applications. As the pH of the solution increases, the fluorescence intensity of Hoechst 34580 also increases, providing a reliable tool for studying cellular dynamics, DNA distribution, and nuclear morphology in real-time. This reagent is particularly useful in research focused on amyloid-β and related neurodegenerative processes.

3-Cyanoumbelliferone functions as a fluorescent dye and molecular probe, offering high sensitivity for various biological applications. Additionally, it acts as a macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) tautomerase inhibitor with a Ki value of 2.9 μM. This compound is valuable for studying MIF-related pathways and assessing its role in inflammation and immune responses.

DC432 is a peptidomimetic inhibitor targeting N-terminal methyltransferase 1/2 (NTMT1/2) with an IC50 value of 54 nM. It effectively inhibits the N-terminal methylation of NTMT1/2 substrates in HCT116 cells, facilitating studies on NTMT1/2 activity and function. This reagent is suitable for research applications focused on the role of NTMT1/2 in various biological processes.
