Vortioxetine is a multimodal serotonergic agent that acts as a serotonin (5-HT; Item No. 14332) reuptake inhibitor (Ki = 1.6 nM) and binds to the 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT3A, and 5-HT7 receptors (Kis = 15, 33, 3.7, and 19 nM, respectively).{36248} It also binds to the β1-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 46 nM). It acts as an antagonist at 5-HT3A and 5-HT7, a partial agonist at 5-HT1B, and a full agonist at 5-HT1A receptors. Vortioxetine is selective for the serotonin transporter (SERT) over the dopamine and norepinephrine transporters (IC50s = 5.3, 890, and 140 nM, respectively). It has affinity for histamine H2, melanocortin 4, β2-adrenergic, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT6 receptors with Ki values greater than 180 nM, but it is selective over the majority of targets in a panel of 75 ion channels, G protein-coupled receptors, enzymes, and transporters. Vortioxetine (5 or 10 mg/kg per day) increases 5-HT levels in vivo in rat brain and decreases occupancy at SERT. At acute and chronic doses of 5 mg/kg, but not 10 mg/kg, it increases the time mice spend in the center of the open field test, increases mobility in the forced swim test, and decreases the latency to feed in the novelty suppressed feeding test.{36249} It also increases proliferation and survival of adult-born granule cells in the hippocampus. Formulations containing vortioxetine have been used in the treatment of major depressive disorder.

  • 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.

  • 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}
