Zonisamide is a broad-spectrum sulfonamide antiepileptic agent.{41543} It selectively blocks the repeated firing of sodium channels (IC50 = 2 μg/ml) at low concentrations in mouse embryo spinal cord neurons, and it blocks spontaneous channel firing at concentrations above 10 μg/ml.{41545} In rat cerebral cortex neurons, zonisamide (1-1000 μM) dose-dependently blocks T-type calcium channels with a maximum reduction of 60% of the calcium current.{41546} Zonisamide inhibits recombinant H. pylori carbonic anhydrase (CA) and human CA isoforms I, II, and V with Ki values of 218, 56, 35, and 21 nM, respectively.{33180,41544} Zonisamide has anticonvulsant activity in rats, rabbits, dogs, and mice with a potency similar to phenobarbital (Item No. 9001494) and carbamazepine in maximal electroshock seizure (MES) models.{41543} In mice, it has anticonvulsant activity against MES and pentylenetetrazole-induced maximal and minimal seizures with median effective doses of 19.6, 9.3, and >500 mg/kg, respectively. Zonisamide (10-100 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently prevents reduction of dopamine (Item No. 21992), homovanillic acid (HVA), and dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid (DOPAC) levels and the elevation of the dopamine turnover rate induced by MPTP in mouse striatum. Formulations containing zonisamide have been used in the treatment of partial seizures in adults with epilepsy.

  • 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 – 1 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.

  • 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}
