GW 9508 is a small-molecule agonist of GPR40/FFA1 (EC50 = 47.8 nM for calcium mobilization in HEK293 cells).{14194} It is selective for GPR40/FFA1 over GPR120/FFA4 (EC50 = 3,467 nM), as well as GPR43/FFA2 and GPR41/FFA3 (EC50s = >50 µM).{14194} GW 9508 potentiates glucose-stimulated and potassium chloride-mediated insulin secretion in MIN6 pancreatic β-cells but does not affect glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in primary rat or mouse islet cells.{14194} It increases phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), indicating AMPK and ACC activation, and decreases hepatic lipid accumulation in a mouse model of high-cholesterol diet-induced hepatic steatosis when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg per day for three days.{43588}

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 100 mg

    The tetracycline repressor (TetR) is a transcriptional regulator which normally binds tightly to its palindromic tetO operator DNA, blocking gene expression.{17508} Tet causes the repressor to dissociate from the DNA, allowing transcription to occur. A novel reverse TetR (revTetR) requires tetracycline as a co-repressor to bind tetO and block transcription.{17509,17510} Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) is a powerful effector in both the tetracycline repressor (TetR) and reverse TetR (revTetR) systems, binding the Tet repressor 35-fold more strongly than Tet.{17508,17511} Moreover, anhydrotetracycline poorly binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, compared to Tet,{17512} so it does not act as a general inhibitor of translation and is a poor antibiotic. Perhaps related to this, the concentration of anhydrotetracycline that inhibits eukaryotic cell growth is more than a 1,000-fold above the dose that alters transcription through TetR.{17508}

    (R)-Roscovitine – 500 µg

    Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}
