De Minimis - 1544 / 6.1

Voacangine is an indole alkaloid that has been found in T. citrifolia, V. africana, V. obtusa, and T. iboga with diverse biological activities.{41758,41754} It inhibits the growth of M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M. kansasii with MIC values of 50, >200, and 100 μg/mL, respectively.{41754} Voacangine (0.01-100 μM) dose-dependently reduces membrane currents in HEK293 cells expressing the hERG potassium channel and displaces the hERG ligand dofetilide (Item No. 15045) with a Ki value of 3.9 μM.{41755} Voacangine suppresses agonist-induced activation of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels with IC50 values of 50 and 9 μM for activation induced by the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin (Item No. 92350) and the TRPM8 agonist menthol, respectively.{41756} It also activates TRPA1 channels and stimulates calcium influx (IC50 = 8 μM in HEK293 cells expressing TRPA1), an effect that is blocked by the TRPA1 blocker HC-030031 (Item No. 11923). In vivo, voacangine (2 and 4 μg per egg) inhibits angiogenesis in chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes without apparent cytotoxicity.{41757}

  • 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.
