Decursin is a phytochemical originally isolated from A. gigas with diverse biological activities.{39913,39914,39915,39916,39917} It reduces the growth of B16/F10 murine melanoma cells, but not NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, via induction of apoptosis and increased caspase-3 activity when used at concentrations ranging from 40 to 100 μM.{39913} In vivo, decursin (10 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces tumor growth in a B16/F10 mouse xenograft model. Decursin inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and decreases fusion and migrations of pre-osteoclasts in vitro and prevents LPS-induced bone erosion in mice.{39914} In a mouse model of seizures induced by kainic acid (Item No. 78050), decursin (20 mg/kg) increases latency to the first electroencephalographic (EEG) discharge and attenuates the intensity and reduces the frequency of seizure discharges in the parietal cortex.{39915} Decursin inhibits tube formation and expression of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro and reduces retinal expression of VEGFR2 and neovascularization in rats with diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104).{39916} It also reduces hepatic collagen expression, serum levels of ALT, AST, and ALP, and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a mouse model of CCL4-induced liver fibrosis.{39917}

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 500 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}
