Altretamine is an antineoplastic agent with antiproliferative activity.{41191} It induces cytotoxicity in an ovarian cancer cell line when used at a concentration of 10 μg/ml, with radiolabeled thymidine uptake equal to 102 and 75% of controls after 48 and 120 hours, respectively.{41189} Altretamine (100 μg/ml) reduces colony survival in A204 human rhabdomyosarcoma cells in an NADP-dependent manner in the presence of an S-9 hepatic activating mixture.{41190} In vivo, altretamine (150 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth in a mouse model of M5076 murine reticulum cell sarcoma.{41191} Altretamine (0.5 mM) inhibits glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and induces accumulation of lipid-reactive oxygen species (ROS) in U-2932 cells without depleting glutathione (GSH) levels, suggesting it is a class II ferroptosis-inducing compound (FIN).{47408} It also acts as a chemosterilant in houseflies, preventing hatching and pupation in male and female houseflies when used at a concentration of 0.05%.{41192} Formulations of altretamine have been used in the treatment of various cancers.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 50 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}
