LY379268 is a potent, brain-permeable, and selective agonist of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), subtypes mGluR2 and mGluR3.{34626} In an assay of second messenger response, LY379268 exhibits EC50 values of 2.69 and 4.48 nM for human mGluR2 and mGluR3, respectively, with at least 80-fold selectivity over group I and III mGluRs.{34626} In a displacement assay, LY379268 displays no agonist or antagonist activity against NMDA, AMPA, or kainate receptors up to a concentration of 100 µM.{34626} However, it may influence the level of AMPA receptor trafficking in rat prefrontal cortical neurons.{34629} LY379268 confers a neuroprotective effect to the CA1 of the hippocampus in a gerbil model of induced ischemia at a dose of 10 mg/kg.{34627} In rats, LY379268 (3 mg/kg) raises the extracellular dopamine level to 168% of the basal level in the prefrontal cortex.{34628}

  • 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 – 5 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) – 250 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}
