MOPS-Na is a novel stabilizer maintaining the pH of mammalian cell culture media.

Picrotin is an inhibitor of glycine receptors. Picrotin blocks α2 GlyR, α1 GlyR, and α3 GlyR and can be used in studies about neurotransmission.

Tricine can clearly visualize tumors, may as melanoma imaging agents. Using the combination of tricine and a phosphine ligand, HYNIC-derivatized peptides or other small molecules can be labeled with 99mTc in high specific activity and with high stability for potential use as radiopharmaceuticals.
