Capsaicin is a terpene alkaloid that has been found in Capsicum and has diverse biological activities.{55276,55277,55278,55279} It induces inward currents in HEK293 cells expressing rat transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1; EC50 = 0.64 µM at neutral pH), an effect that can be blocked by the TRPV1 inhibitor A-425619.{55276} Capsaicin (10 and 50 µM) decreases LPS-induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010) production, as well as reduces LPS- and IFN-induced nitric oxide (NO) release in isolated mouse peritoneal macrophages.{55277} Capsaicin induces substance P release in rat spinal cord slices with an EC50 value of 2.3 µM.{55278} It reduces acetylcholine- or phenylquinone-induced writhing (ED50s = 1.33 and 1.38 mg/kg, respectively, s.c.) but has no effect on the latency to paw withdrawal in the hot plate test in mice (ED50 = >20 mg/kg, s.c.).{55279} Formulations containing capsaicin have been used in the treatment of nerve pain associated with shingles.

  • A small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    SC-1 – 10 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
