The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent intracellular transcription factor whose ligands include some of the most infamous xenobiotics, including dioxin, benzo[a]pyrene, and numerous polyaromatics from soot and coal tar.{12907} PDM 2 is an analog of resveratrol acting as a potent and selective aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) antagonist, with a Ki of 1.2 nM.{12475} PDM 2 is inactive as a ligand for the estrogen receptor even at 100 µM. As AhR knockout mice are insensitive to the carcinogenic effects of classical AhR ligands, PDM 2 is a potential therapeutic for the treatment for dioxin and other aryl hydrocarbon poisonings.

The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.

The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
