There are two homologous nuclear receptors for the hormone 17β-estradiol (estrogen), commonly called ERα and ERβ. Receptor activation leads to the formation of homo- and hetero-dimers, which in turn interact with accessory proteins to regulate gene transcription. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator, evoking tissue-dependent effects. It is an antagonist of ER action in breast tissue and breast cancer cells and is reported to be effective in the treatment of early breast cancer to prevent tumor growth.{17813,17814} Importantly, tamoxifen has been reported to act as an ER agonist in bone and blood vessels, helping to minimize osteoporosis and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in post-menopausal women.{17815} Also, tamoxifen is a partial ER agonist in uterine tissues and is reported to increase the risk of endometrial carcinoma.{17816}

  • 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}
