Baicalein is a flavonoid originally isolated from the roots of S. baicalensis that has diverse biological activities.{37567} It inhibits human platelet 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) and human reticulocyte 15-LO-1 (IC50s = 0.64 and 1.6 µM, respectively) but is less potent at 15-LO-1 when the detergent Triton-X is present (IC50 = 38 µM).{37568} Baicalein inhibits lipid peroxidation, as assessed by production of thiobarbituric acid (TBARS; IC50 = 5 µM), and inhibits growth of Huh-7, KIM-1, and HLF human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (IC50s = 17-70 µg/ml).{5688,5627} Baicalein increases intracellular calcium levels by increasing release from the endoplasmic reticulum and via PKC-dependent calcium channels in the plasma membrane, leading to increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS), caspase-9 and -3 activation, and apoptosis in ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cells.{37569} Baicalein increases levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) in BV-2 microglia and primary microglia and decreases the level of 12- and 15-LO products.{37570} It also decreases symptoms of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, when administered at a dose of 75 mg/kg per day.

    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.

  • 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}

    Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}
