General description

Epoxy-activated-Agarose is a resin. Ligands can be covalently linked to agarose via the interaction of the nucleophilic groups of the ligand with the epoxy group.

Application

Epoxy-activated-Agarose is a lyophilized powder, stabilized with lactose, which is used in affinity chromatography, protein chromatography and activated/functionalized matrices. Epoxy-activated agarose has been used in studies informing anti-proliferative activity on human-derived cancer cells as well as cancer prevention.

Other Notes

Ligand: 1,4-bis(2:3-Epoxypropoxy)butane
Attachment: one epoxy group
Spacer: provides a 12-atom spacer when ligands are coupled to free epoxy groups. Linkage is a stable, uncharged ether.

Glyoxalase-I (Gly-I) is part of the glyoxalase system which converts methylglyoxal to D-lactic acid via an S-D-lactoylglutathione intermediate. This glutathione (GSH)-binding protein was purified from human colon tumors and corresponding normal tissue. The GSH-affinity purified fraction from normal human colon

The phytochemical resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) is a naturally occurring polyphenol with a plethora of health-beneficial properties, including a preventive role in cancer. We surmise that resveratrol may exert its diverse biological effects by interacting with specific target proteins, denoted RTPs. To
