Dracorhodin perchlorate is a pro-apoptotic compound and a synthetic analog of dracorhodin, an anthocyanin that has been found in D. draco fruit.{48435,48436} It induces cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase as well as apoptosis in U87MG and T98G glioma cells when used at concentrations of 40 and 80 μM.{48436} It also increases levels of p53, p21, Bim, and Bax and decreases levels of Bcl-2 in glioma cells in vitro. Dracorhodin perchlorate is cytotoxic to U937, A375-S2, and MCF-7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.{48435} It is also cytotoxic to HeLa cells, an effect that can be reversed by Ac-YVAD-CMK (Item No. 10014), Z-DEVD-FMK (Item No. 14414), Z-IETD-FMK, and Z-LEHD-FMK, which are inhibitors of caspase-1, -3, -8, and -9, respectively.

  • 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}
