SOME BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF TRITERPENOID ACIDS
Saint-Petersburg State University, *Institute of Cytology RAS

Ursolic and betulinic acids acids induce the processes of apoptosis. We tested the risk of osteoporosis induction under influence of triterpenoids, since they can interact with glucocorticoid receptors. In experiments on oviriectomized rats we found that acids do not show any negative influence on percentage of mineral components in the femur and have cholesterol-lowering action under experimental conditions.

Solving Drug Discovery with Metabolomics and Metabonomics
Published February 2005

There has been an 'omics' explosion. With the advent of genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, there is also now metabolomics and metabonomics. These terms are the newest sibling to genomics and proteomics and are supposed to embody metabolic profiling.

Novel ProteoPrep® 20 Immunoaffinity Depletion Resin for Human Plasma
Sigma Aldrich

Sigma’s ProteoPrep® 20 Plasma Immunodepletion Kit specifically removes 20 of the most abundant proteins from human plasma or serum in preparation for two-dimensional electrophoresis. The technology specifically removes twenty of the top high abundance proteins utilizing conventional antibodies coupled with small recombinant immunoaffinity ligands. The ProteoPrep 20 technology is advancing the frontier of biomarker discovery.
