Mizoribine is an imidazole nucleoside with immunosuppressive properties.{38729} It inhibits T cell proliferation in response to various mitogenic stimuli by 10-100% when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 50 µg/mL. Mizoribine inhibits proliferation of stimulated T cells (IC50 = 5 µg/ml), which can be reversed by guanosine.{38730} It also inhibits guanine nucleotide formation in T cells, reducing GTP pools by 40-60% when used at a concentration of 5 µg/ml. Mizoribine inhibits replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in vitro (IC50 = 100 µM).{38731} It suppresses glomerulosclerosis, urinary albumin excretion, interstitial fibrotic lesions, and macrophage infiltration into glomeruli and the interstitium in a rat model of type 2 diabetes when used at doses of 5 or 10 mg/kg.{38732} Mizoribine also reduces MCP-1, osteopontin (OPN), and TGF-β1 mRNA expression in the kidney in the same model. Formulations containing mizoribine have been used for the prevention of rejection after renal transplantation as well as in the treatment of lupus nephritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and primary nephritic syndrome.

  • 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}

  • A potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM; also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H

    (R)-Roscovitine – 10 mg

    Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}

  • 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.
