Bretazenil is a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors with anticonvulsant and anxiolytic activity.{48491} It potentiates GABA-gated chloride currents in rat cortical neurons and in HEK293 cells expressing α1β1γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors (EC50s = 60 and 10 nM, respectively).{48491} Bretazenil inhibits binding of the benzodiazepine diazepam to rat cerebral cortex homogenates (IC50 = 2.2 nM).{48492} It inhibits tonic convulsions induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ; Item No. 18682) and maximal electroshock (MES) in rats (ED50s = 0.07 and 0.48 mg/kg, respectively). Bretazenil (5-30 mg/kg) increases the number of open arm entries and percentage of time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze in mice, indicating anxiolytic-like activity.{48493}

    CAY10512 – 100 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}

  • 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}
