Stainless Steel rest for holding sterile forceps and scalpel handles in a convenient position.

Formononetin is an isoflavonoid phytoestrogen that is used in microbiology and oncology research as a vasodilator, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent. It has also been used as an anti-parasitic compound against Giardia lamblia trophozoites however, the mechanism of action is not well understood.

Forskolin (Coleonol) is a labdane diterpene extracted from Coleus forskohlii (Indian Coleus plant) and is widely recognized for its potent activation of adenylate cyclase, which elevates intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels. Forskolin is ideal for use in scientific studies focused on cell signaling pathways, cAMP-mediated signal transduction, metabolic regulation, and cardiovascular research.

GoldBio’s forskolin is optimized for laboratory research and commonly used in biochemical assays investigating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mechanisms, hormone signaling, and smooth muscle relaxation. Its ability to modulate cAMP makes it a valuable tool in pharmacology, molecular biology, and physiological research applications.

Fosfomycin sodium is a phosphoenolpyruvate analog antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces fradiae. It targets gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, especially E. faecalis and E. coli. Fosfomycin concentrates in the bladder and kidney, decreasing nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of anti-tumor agents containing platinum.

Fraxetin is a phenolic antioxidant. It has been used to protect against rotenone-induced apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells. Fraxetin also possesses antitumor and antimetastatic properties on M2 macrophage differentiation.

Furazolidone is a nitrofuran derivative antibiotic with antiprotozoal and antibacterial activity. It targets a wide variety of bacteria, including those responsible for gastrointestinal infections. It has also been used as a DNA cross-linking agent.

Furazolidone binds bacterial DNA, inhibiting monoamine oxidase (MAO). It induces cross-links leading to an increased rate of mutation or halted DNA replication.

Fusaric acid is a picolinic acid derived from the fungus Fusarium heterosporium. While it’s mechanism of action is not clearly understood,it likely inhibits dopamine beta-hydroxylase enzyme. As a mycotoxin it has negative effects on mammals, but it can be used to inhibit cell proliferation and DNA synthesis. For selection purposes fusaric acid is used to test resistance to itself in plants, allowing for the confirmation of genetic resistance to dangerous mycotoxin absorption. It is also used as a cell selective agent to differentiate tetracycline-susceptible E. coli from tetracycline-resistant. As a reagent it’s used to synthesize Bupicomide, an experimental beta blocker.

Fusidic acid is a fusidane antibiotic compound that exerts potent bacteriostatic effects toward gram positive bacteria. It is commonly implemented with bactericidal antibiotics such as rifampicin. Fusidic acid is an inhibitor of protein synthesis by disrupting amino acid transfer from tRNA to ribosomes.

Fusidic acid inhibits a GTPase called elongation factor G or translocase. Impeding translocase activity hidners movement of tRNA and mRNA through ribosomes. While predominant effects are bacteriostatic, higher concentrations will result in bacterial death.

Fusidic acid sodium is a bacteriostatic steroid antibiotic targeting gram-positive bacteria, especially those responsible for skin infections. It has been shown to inhibit nitric oxide lysis of islet cells, cytokine production, neutrophils, and T cells. It is highly water soluble.

Fusidic acid sodium inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes via suppression of elongation factor G.

G-418 sulfate, also known as geneticin, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar in structure to gentamicin B1. It is commonly used in plant and mammalian cell culture as a selectable marker. It can be used to select for cells transformed with an iNOS promoter construct or neomycin resistance gene.

G-418 functions by causing a chain of nonsense mutations during translation, ultimately resulting in inhibition of polypeptide synthesis and protein elongation. Resistance to G-418 is conferred through the nptll gene in plant cells and the neo gene in mammalian cells, which encode aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase. For gene selection applications, a kill curve can be made to determine the minimum effective G418 concentration to kill non-resistant cells. G418 disulfate is freely soluble in water.
