Palosuran is an antagonist of the urotensin II receptor (UTR; IC50s = 3.6 and 1,475 nM for CHO cell membranes expressing human and rat recombinant receptors, respectively).{47224} It inhibits contraction of isolated rat aortic rings induced by urotensin II (Item Nos. 24711 | 24753) in a concentration-dependent manner. Palosuran (300 mg/kg twice per day) reduces plasma endothelin-1 (Item No. 24127), urotensin II, and TGF-β1 levels, as well as the main pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy index in a rat model of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) induced by monocrotaline (Item No. 16666).{47225} Palosuran (300 mg/kg per day) reduces serum glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels and increases survival in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ; Item No. 13104).{47226} It also decreases albuminuria and global kidney lesion scores in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 100 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}
