Fura-2 acetoxymethyl ester; 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein acetoxymethyl ester (BCECF); bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid) trimethine oxonol (oxonol), 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA; reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) sensor) and 5,5′,6,6′-Tetrachloro-1,1′,3,3′-tetraethyl-imidacarbocyanine iodide (JC-1), were purchased from Molecular Probes (Life Technologies, USA). Arachidonic, oleic, docosahexanoic, palmitic acid, indomethacin (inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, Indomet), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (inhibitor of lipoxygenase, NDGA), valinomycin, luciferin, luciferase, rhodamine 123, salts and buffers were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). 2-(1-thienyl)ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzylidenecyanoacetate (inhibitor of lipoxygenase, 2-TEDC), was purchased from Tocris Bioscience (through Gene-Xpress, Chile).
indomethacin, NDGA and 2-TEDC have been shown to be cell permeant and have 50% inhibitory concentrations of 0.1–0.2 μM for indomethacin [26 (link)], 0.5–1.0 μM for NDGA [27 (link)] and 0.09, 0.013 and 0.5 μM (5-, 12-, and 15-lipoxygenases, respectively) for 2-TEDC [28 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
