S5742 Deferoxamine mesylate Deferoxamine mesylate is the mesylate salt of Deferoxamine, which forms iron complexes and is used as a chelating agent. Deferoxamine is a ferroptosis inhibitor that stabilizes HIF-1α expression and improves HIF-1α transactivity in hypoxic and hyperglycemic states in vitro. Deferoxamine decreases beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and induces autophagy.Please do not prepare stock solutions with normal saline or PBS, as precipitation may occur.

S1623 Acetylcysteine (N-Acetylcysteine, NAC) Acetylcysteine (N-acetyl-l-cysteine, NAC, N-acetylcysteine) is a ROS(reactive oxygen species) inhibitor that antagonizes the activity of proteasome inhibitors. It is also a tumor necrosis factor production inhibitor, suppresses TNF-induced NF-κB activation through inhibition of IκB kinases, induces apoptosis via the mitochondria-dependent pathway, and inhibits ferroptosis and virus replication.Solutions are unstable and should be fresh-prepared.
