Histone acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity regulates the reversible acetylation of lysine residues within histone tails, which results in either transcriptional activation or repression of nearby genes. Compounds that modulate this activity are of interest in cancer chemotherapeutics as well as for treating psychiatric disorders, malaria, and other diseases. Apicidin is a fungal toxin that has broad spectrum activity against Apicomplexan parasites through inhibiting HDACs (IC50 = 0.7 nM).{18472} An in vitro activity assay demonstrates apicidin inhibition of HDAC3/NCoR, a class I HDAC, at a much higher potency than for class II HDAC6 (IC50s = 15.8 and 665.1 nM, respectively).{15938} Apicidin exhibits antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines (IC50s = 0.13-2.36 μM), and at 0.5 – 2 μM it induces selective changes in p21WAF1/Cip1 and gelsolin gene expression, which control cell cycle and cell morphology, respectively.{18467}

  • 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 – 25 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.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 500 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}
