Sterculic acid is a cyclopropene fatty acid that has been found in S. foetida.{46110} It is an inhibitor of Δ9-desaturase that decreases 9(Z)-myristoleic acid (Item No. 9002461) and increases oleic acid (Item No. 90260) and 9(Z),11(E)-conjugated linoleic acid (Item No. 90140) levels in the milk of lactating ewes when administered at a dose of 0.5 g per day.{48112} It also inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by 7-keto cholesterol (Item No. 16339) in ARPE-19 cells when used at a concentration of 1 µM and prevents the formation of choroidal neovascularization when applied to eyes at concentrations of 0.1 to 10 mM in a rat model of macular degeneration induced by laser injury.{46110} Sterculic acid binds to a variety of kinases, including calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2), mammalian sterile20-related kinase 3 (MST3), and p90 ribosomal S5 kinase 4 (RSK4).{46111} [Matreya, LLC.

  • 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}

  • 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}

    CAY10512 – 10 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}
