Brivudine is a thymidine analog and inhibitor of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) viral replication.{42575,53248} Following conversion to a 5′-triphosphate form by viral kinases, brivudine is incorporated into viral DNA, inhibiting viral DNA polymerases and inducing strand breakage.{53248} Brivudine (0.02-0.04 μg/ml) inhibits VZV replication in primary human fibroblasts and inhibits cytopathogenic effects of the KOS HSV-1 strain in a panel of cell lines (MIC50s = 0.007-0.4 μg/ml).{42575,53249} It selectively inhibits cytopathogenicity induced by HSV-1 strains over HSV-2, vaccinia virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, or deoxythymidine kinase-deficient HSV-1 strains in E6SM cells (MIC50s = 0.02, 2-10, 7, >400, and 40 μg/ml, respectively).{42575} Brivudine (5 and 15 mg/kg twice per day) increases survival in a mouse model of disseminated HSV-1 infection.

  • 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 – 1 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.
