- Product Overview:
FSL-1 is a synthetic lipopeptide agonist of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR6 heterodimers (TLR2/TLR6).{36662,36665} In HEK293 cells transfected with human TLR2 and TLR6 but not TLR6 alone, FSL-1 increases NF-?B activity by 4- and 8-fold when used at concentrations of 0.1 and 1 nM, respectively.{36662} It induces the expression of the cytokines CCL20, IL-8, IL-1?, and TNF-? in human monocytic THP-1 cells and, to a lesser extent, in TLR10 knockdown cells when used at a concentration of 100 ng/ml.{36666} FSL-1 (0.5-50 ?g/ml), in combination with IFN-?, dose-dependently increases the percentage of DM13 and VMM1 melanoma cells expressing the chemokine CXCL10 with a maximal increase of approximately 50%.{36663} In rats, FSL-1 (100 ?g/kg, i.p.) induces fever and increases plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-? by greater than 90-fold.{36664} FSL-1 (10-1,000 ?g/kg, i.p.) also dose-dependently reduces home cage locomotor activity and both food and water consumption with maximal reductions of ten grams per 12 hours.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
