Gedunin is a natural inhibitor of the heat shock protein (Hsp90; Item Nos. 22734 | 22735) co-chaperone p23 that also inhibits Hsp90 expression in human teratocarcinomal NTERA-2 cells in vitro at 5 µg/ml.{35153} This tetranortriterpenoid, which is isolated from A. indica, binds to and blocks the chaperone activity of p23 to induce apoptosis in HeLa-PRB cells in vitro at a concentration of 20 µM.{35151} Gedunin inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation in vitro, with IC50 values of 8.84 and 3.22 µM in MCF-7 and SKBr-3 cells, respectively, and inhibits the growth of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells (IC50 = 25 µM) by targeting the sonic hedgehog pathway to induce apoptosis.{35147,35152} It also exerts anti-inflammatory effects in vivo. In a mouse model of articular inflammation induced by zymosan (Item No. 21175), gedunin (0.05-0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces edema formation and the production of inflammatory cytokines.{35149} Gedunin (0.5 mg/kg) also inhibits the pleural accumulation of eosinophils and activated T lymphocytes in an ovalbumin-sensitized mouse model of allergic inflammation when administered prior to ovalbumin rechallenge.{35150} It also targets the lipopolysaccharide binding site and thus blocks Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling in macrophages in vitro at a concentration of 10 µM.{35145}

  • 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 – 10 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.

    CAY10512 – 100 mg

    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. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
