Cytisine is an alkaloid that has been found in C. laburnum.{47481} It is a partial agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with an EC50 value of approximately 1 µM for increasing current in Xenopus oocytes expressing α4β2 subunit-containing nAChRs. Cytisine (20 nM) inhibits current induced by acetylcholine (Item No. 23829) by 50% in Xenopus oocytes expressing α4β2-subunit containing nAChRs. It binds to α2β2, α2β4, α3β2, α3β4, α4β2, and α4β4 nAChR subunits expressed in HEK293 cells with Ki values of 1.1, 5.4, 37, 220, 1.5, and 2.1 nM, respectively.{27175} Cytisine (3 mg/kg) reduces increases in the intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) threshold of rats withdrawing from nicotine self-administration, indicating a decrease in the dysphoric state induced by nicotine withdrawal.{47482}

    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}

  • 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.
