Gossypol is a racemic mixture of natural polyphenols isolated from parts of the cotton plant (genus Gossypium). It causes infertility in a variety of cotton pests and spermatogenesis arrest in humans.{23003} Gossypol also has antimalarial properties, preventing the growth of P. falciparum at low micromolar concentrations.{23001} It inhibits aldose reductase (Ki = 0.5 µM).{23002} Gossypol also acts as an anticancer agent, inhibiting cell growth in various cancer cell lines, in part by blocking the anti-apoptotic functions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, again at low micromolar concentrations.{23000}

    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.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 100 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}
