NSC 87877: Selective Shp2 Inhibitor Guide
2026-10-01
NSC 87877 is a Shp2 inhibitor that suppresses catalytic phosphatase activity and EGF-linked Ras–Erk1/2 signaling in reported assays. Its biochemical selectivity, leukemic-cell cytotoxicity, inflammatory-pain activity, and relevance to SHP2/NLRP3 research support use as a mechanistic research compound rather than a validated clinical therapy.

Selective IRAP Inhibitors from Bestatin Derivatives
2026-10-01
The reference study presents a stereochemically controlled route to α-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives of bestatin and identifies a cell-active, low-nanomolar inhibitor of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase. Structural and biochemical data show that interactions with the GAMEN loop, in addition to zinc coordination and P1-pocket recognition, can drive potency and selectivity across related M1 aminopeptidases.

Nitrocefin for β-Lactamase Assay Workflows
2026-09-28
Use Nitrocefin’s yellow-to-red response to screen β-lactamase activity, compare enzyme preparations, and prioritize follow-up experiments. The workflow also explains why a positive signal is a useful starting point—not a substitute for measuring hydrolysis of clinically relevant antibiotics or determining susceptibility.
