Misoprostol is a cytoprotective prostaglandin PGE1 analogue. It (PGE1) is an inexpensive, orally active, synthetic prostaglandin that is used for the prevention of gastric ulcers. It does not need refrigeration and has few gastrointestinal side-effects. Misoprostol has been used for medical abortion, cervical softening and induction of labor and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.

meso-2,3-Dimercaptosuccinic Acid is used as a chelating agent and masking agent for cadmium in EDTA titration of zinc. Detoxification of heavy metal.

DMSA itself is a very well known organic molecule that is widely used as a chelating agent for treating lead poisoning. It is also one of the most promising chelating agents in the pharmaceutical industry. Studies of DMSA in the context of nanoscience are also growing significantly because of its versatility in terms of binding to the surfaces of nanoparticles (NPs).

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have broad applications in biomedicine, such as magnetic cell isolation and biomolecules purification, magnetic resonance imaging of diseased tissues, magnetic immunoassay, targeted delivery of drugs and antigens, hyperthermia aided chemo/radiotherapy, and so on. So what more applications can you think of for iron oxide nanoparticles?

6-Carboxytetramethylrhodamine derivatives of tetramethylrhodamine is one of the most convenient compounds of Xanthene fluorescent dye tetramethylrhodamine. 6-Carboxytetramethylrhodamine is a long-wavelength dye. Besides that, it also can be used for labeling of biomolecules, e.g., DNA, PNA, and peptides. Fluoresence: λex 543 nm, λem 575 nm in 0.1 M Tris pH 8.0; λex 540 nm, λem 565 nm in methanol; λex 555 nm, λem 580 nm; λex 541 nm, λem 568 nm in DMSO

MK-2206 is a Akt inhibitor, is also an orally bioavailable allosteric inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B) with potential antineoplastic activity. Akt inhibitor MK2206 binds to and inhibits the activity of Akt in a non-ATP competitive manner, which may result in the inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. Activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis and dysregulated PI3K/Akt signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents.

Canolol is a well-known lipid-soluble potent antioxidant and antimutagenic compound formed in canola oil via sinapic acid decarboxylation during oil pressing at high temperature and pressure. The antiradical scavenging activity of canolol is much greater than that of well-known antioxidants, including vitamin C, bcarotene, a-tocopherol, rutin and quercetin. Unluckily, canolol is almost completely lost during oil refining which advocates its isolation from meal and adding it back to the oil. The lipophilic characteristics of canolol might account for its high affinity to the cell membranes and other biological membranes and hence its reactivity inside the body where water-soluble antioxidants are hard to react, thus establishing its outstanding role. The industrial demand of vinyl phenols and canolol is relatively satisfied by chemical synthesis and not from natural sources. Investigations have explored large scale synthesis of 4-vinylphenols through microbial or chemical decarboxylation of cinnamic acids such as p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid and caffeic acid from plant sources including barley, wheat bran and sunflower seeds.

Pharmaceutical industry is growing day by day with the aim to develop new drugs extracted from natural products or synthetic chemically produced drug substances, but one thing always remains constant, that is, the product should be as pure as possible. Therefore, purity has always been considered as an essential factor in ensuring drug quality. There is no known drug that is not harmful or even poisonous at high doses.

The gradual change from the use of natural products in their entire state to either purified extracts from those products or to synthetic chemically produced substances，can be said to have been taking place between the time of Paracelsus, who lived in Basel during the first half of the 16th century, to that of Ehrlich, to whom the award of a Nobel prize in 1909 was a fitting reward for his remarkable researches and breakthrough during the first decade of this century. This period has been described as that leading from Quintessence to the Chemical and has been fascinatingly reviewed by Barber. This transition from the Quintessence to the Chemical stimulated a very considerable amount of interest in the analysis as well as determination of purity of natural products, as De Quincey had said 100 years earlier, not the apparent quantities as determined by weighing but the virtual quantities after allowing for the alloy of impurities. Thus, there is no doubt that nearly a century of pharmaceutical research has contributed spectacularly to the improvement in human health and quality of life.
