Bexarotene is an agonist of retinoid X receptors (RXRs; EC50s = 28, 25, and 20 nM for RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ, respectively, in reporter assays).{20758} It is selective for RXRs over retinoic acid receptors (RARs; EC50s = >10 µM for RARα, RARβ, and RARγ). Bexarotene (10 µM) induces apoptosis in MJ, HuT 78, and HH cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) cells, as well as inhibits lung metastasis and angiogenesis in A549 and MDA-MB-231 mouse xenograft models when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg per day.{58126,58127} It reduces increased brain interstitial fluid levels of amyloid-β (1-40) (Aβ40) and Aβ42 in the APP/PS1 transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.{20759} It also reduces viral load in the culture supernatant of Vero E6 cells infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; EC90 = 9.4 µM) and inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in a plaque reduction assay (EC50 = 2.01 µM).{59330} Formulations containing bexarotene have been used in the treatment of CTCL.

    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.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 50 µg

    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.

    CAY10512 – 50 mg

    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}
