Asarinin is a lignan that has been found in A. sieboldii.{51057} It is an epimer of sesamin (Item No. 70310) and a noncompetitive inhibitor of Δ5-desaturase (Ki = 0.28 mM).{51058} It is selective for Δ5-desaturase over Δ6- and Δ9-desaturase. Asarinin is cytotoxic to A2780 and SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells (IC50s = 38.45 and 60.87 µM, respectively) but not immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cells (IC50 = >200 µM).{51057} It induces apoptosis and activates caspase-3, -8, and -9 in A2780 and SKOV3 cells.

  • 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}
