Cancer cell survival appears partly dependent on antioxidative enzymes, whose expression is regulated by the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, to quench potentially toxic reactive oxygen species generated by their metastatic transformation.{20112} AEM1 is an inhibitor of gene expression induced by nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).{29333} It reduces Nrf2-dependent expression of the genes encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), thioredoxin (Trx), glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCLM), and glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPX2), as well as decreases glutathione (GSH) content in A549 cells when used at 5 µM. AEM1 enhances tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced A549 cell death. In vivo, AEM1 (50 mg/kg) reduces tumor volume in an A549 mouse xenograft model.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 500 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}

  • 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}

    CAY10512 – 50 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}
