Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant that binds to the serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET; Kds = 68 and 29.5 nM, respectively).{22877} It is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist (Ki = 1.23 nM).{40358} Doxepin selectively binds to SERT and NET over the dopamine transporter (DAT; Kd = 12,100 nM) and inhibits histamine H1 over H2, H3, and H4 receptors (Kis = 170, 39,810, and 15,135 nM, respectively).{22877,40358} It also binds to the 5-HT2 receptor, as well as to muscarinic acetylcholine and α1-adrenergic receptors (α1-ARs; Kds = 27, 23, and 23.5 nM, respectively).{25803} Doxepin (10 mg/kg, i.p.) decreases allodynia and hyperalgesia in a mouse model of chronic constriction injury-induced neuropathic pain.{48874} It increases the distance traveled in the center of the open field test and reduces immobility time in the forced swim test in a mouse model of depression induced by chronic stress when administered orally at a dose of 15 mg/kg.{48875} Formulations containing doxepin have been used in the treatment of depression and insomnia.

  • 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}
