Flumazenil is a GABAA receptor antagonist (IC50 = 2 nM in a radioligand binding assay using rat cortical synaptosomes).{53225} Flumazenil also acts as a partial agonist of GABAA receptors, decreasing the amplitude of electrically stimulated population spikes in rat hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons.{53226} It increases the number of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze in high-anxiety BALB/c, but not C57BL/6, mice when administered at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1,000 µg/kg.{53227} Flumazenil (5 and 10 mg/kg) prevents a reduction in burying behavior induced by the GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator allopregnanolone (Item No. 16930) in ovariectomized rats when administered at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg.{53228} Formulations containing flumazenil have been used to reverse sedation induced by benzodiazepines and in the treatment of benzodiazepine overdose or withdrawal.

  • 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.

    (R)-Roscovitine – 1 mg

    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}
