Isotretinoin is a retinoid that is converted in vivo into all-trans retinoic acid (Item No. 11017) and has diverse biological activities.{40199,39853,39854,39855} It increases the doubling time and transcription of retinoic acid receptor β (RARβ) mRNA in Hep2, FaDu, CCL-17, SCC-9, SCC-15, and SCC-25 human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells when used at a concentration of 1 μM.{39853} Isotretinoin inhibits proliferation of primary human sebocytes (IC50 = 10 μM).{39854} It also decreases triglyceride, stearyl ester, and free fatty acid synthesis and modulates keratin expression in primary human sebocytes at a concentration of 0.1 μM. Isotretinoin (2 mg/kg per day) reduces chronic rejection damage and decreases mRNA expression of IFN-γ and IL-10 in allografts in chronic Fisher344➛Lewis transplant mice, an allograft nephropathy model.{39855} It also slows rod and cone recovery and prevents light-induced photoreceptor damage in an albino rat model of photoreceptor degeneration when administered at a dose of 40 mg/kg.{39856} Formulations containing isotretinoin have been used in the treatment of severe recalcitrant nodular acne.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 25 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.

  • 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}

  • 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 – 25 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.
