Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring and saturated dicarboxylic acid with diverse biological activities.{38830,38831,38832,38833,38834} It is a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase, NADH dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, and reduced ubiquitinone:cytochrome C oxidoreductase in vitro.{38830,38831} Azelaic acid inhibits the growth and colony formation of B16 murine as well as HMB2 and SK32 human melanoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner but has no effect on CHO cells.{38832} It decreases DNA synthesis, induces mitochondrial damage and dilation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), and reduces growth of mouse keratinocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner.{38833} Azelaic acid is bacteriostatic against S. epidermidis, S. aureus, S. capitis, P. acnes, P. avidum, P. mirabilis, and C. albicans in vitro (MICs = 0.03-0.25 M).{38834} Formulations containing azelaic acid have been used in the treatment of acne and hyperpigmentation disorders.

  • PtdIns-(3

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 25 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 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 – 10 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.

    CAY10512 – 500 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
