An α2-adrenergic receptor agonist (α2-AR); reduces neuronal excitation induced by noxious stimuli and depresses spontaneous neuronal firing in anesthetized cats; neuronal depression can be reversed by the selective α2-AR antagonist RX781094 but not the α1-AR antagonists prazosin and WB-4101; acts as a muscle relaxant that inhibits α- and γ-rigidity in rats

Tizanidine is an α2-adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) agonist.{39278} Administration of tizanidine reduces neuronal excitation induced by noxious stimuli and depresses spontaneous neuronal firing in anesthetized cats. Tizanidine-induced neuronal depression is reversed by the selective α2-AR antagonist RX781094 but not the α1-AR antagonists prazosin (Item No. 15023) and WB-4101. It acts as a muscle relaxant that inhibits α- and γ-rigidity in rats, reflex muscle tone in rabbits, and the linguomadibular reflex in cats without sedative, hemodynamic, or neurochemical effects.{39279} Formulations containing tizanidine have been used for the treatment of stiff-person syndrome and to improve gait function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries.{39280,39281}

  • 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.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 50 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.
