BCIP Sodium salt is a water soluble form of BCIP. BCIP is a chromogenic substrate that is used to visualize the activity of alkaline phosphatase. When combined with NBT, BCIP produces a blue to violet insoluble end product and can be used in a variety of assays, including immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, Northern blotting and Southern blotting.

(+)-Bicuculline, a light-sensitive competitive GABAA and GABAA-gated chloride channel antagonist, functions in the biochemical field as a drug, CNS stimulator, convulsant and neurotransmitter. Its chemical identities are alkaloid and phthalide-isoquinoline compound. Extracted from plant alkaloid in 1932, this metabolite has been definitively located in Adlumia fungosa, Dicentra cucullaria, Fumariaceae and some species of Corydalis. (+)-Bicuculline acts primarily on ionotropic GABAA receptors but also blocks Ca2+-activated potassium channels and can act as an agrochemical.

As a poisonous neurotoxin, it affects nervous system responses associated with GABAA by binding to the receptors but not activating them, thus inhibiting the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid. This produces a powerful convulsive reaction mimicking epilepsy and has been used in lab studies of the condition. Administered with NMDA, it has induced paraplegia. Injection to the amygdala has also produced GABA-related anxiolytic effects on emotional states.

1,2-Benzoisothiazolin-3-one, sodium salt is an isothiazolinone biocine used in plants and as a preservative. Its mode of action is both fungicidal and microbicidal.

2,2’-Bipyridine is a metalloprotease inhibitor used as a reagent for the colorimetric determination of iron. It is a base used for oxidation-reductions indicators and to confirm the presence of ferrous iron in soils. Additionally, 2,2’-bipyridine is used in transition metal catalysis and aluminum-initiated polymerization. It is a high-affinity iron chelator and may inhibit iron-containing enzymes.

28-homo-brassinolide is a plant hormone from a class of polyhydroxysteroids that has been shown to have a protective role in plants under various stress situations; showing significant improvement of plant growth, water uptake, photosynthesis and yield. 28-homo-brassinolide has been shown to be the most effective of any of the brassinosteroids in mitigating plant stress effects from natural conditions such as chilling, drought, heat or salinity.

Brassinosteriods are a group of plant hormones that occur naturally in the plant kingdom. They have a variety of physiological roles including cell division and elongation, gene regulation, photosynthesis, senescence, enzyme activation and growth.
