- Product Overview:
?-Lindane is an organochloro insecticide that is an antagonist of GABAA receptors.{37358} It inhibits GABA-stimulated chloride uptake by membrane vesicles isolated from rat cerebral cortex (IC50 = 68 ?M). It binds selectively to insect GABAA receptors over mammalian GABAA receptors in membrane preparations (IC50s = 1, 12, 505, 833, and 150-1, 675 nM for fruit fly, house fly, human, mouse, and rat, respectively).{37359,37360} It binds to a human recombinant ?3 homooligomer with similar selectivity as ?1?3?2-containing receptors, indicating that the binding site for ?-lindane on GABAA receptors is located on the ?3 subunit (IC50s = 0.90, 21, and 306 nM for ?3, ?1?3?2, and the native receptor, respectively).{37361} ?-Lindane blocks GABA- and glutamate-induced current responses in American cockroach neurons (IC50s = 1.74 and 148 nM, respectively).{37362} It is toxic to mice and adult house flies (LD50s = 40 and 5.5 mg/kg, respectively) and also kills head lice in vitro and inhibits hatching.{37361,37363}
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.
