L-Valacyclovir is the L-valyl prodrug of acyclovir (Item No. 14160), an antiviral compound. L-Valacyclovir inhibits herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) replication (IC50 = 0.84 µM in Vero cells).{41278} It is more potent than the stereoisomer D-valacyclovir but less potent than acyclovir in vitro, however, it is rapidly converted to acyclovir in vivo.{41279} Formulations containing L-valacyclovir have been used in the treatment of HSV-1 infections.

  • 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}
