Nos1(24598) Description Biochem/physiol Actions (-)-Thalidomide selectively inhibits biosynthesis of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-); inhibitor of angiogenesis. (S)-Thalidomide is a teratogenic enatiomer. Packaging 10 mg in poly bottle 25, 100 mg in glass bottle Preparation Note (-)-Thalidomide is soluble in DMSO, but is insoluble in water and ethanol. Application Thalidomide has been used to study its teratogenic effects in chicken embryos and human embryonic cells. This study reported that thalidomide causes limb defects by stabilizing PTEN, inhibiting the expression of Akt and activating caspase-dependent apoptosis[1]. Thalidomide has also been used for studying glutathione mediated teratogenic resistance in mouse embryos[2]. Features and Benefits This compound was developed by Celgene.
