ACPT-I is an agonist of the group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) mGluR4a and mGluR8 (EC50s = 7.2 and 8.2 µM, respectively) that has no effect on mGluR1a or mGluR2.{5944} It has diverse biological activity, including neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic-like effects.{38572,38571,38570,38573} ACPT-I (1-200 µM) reduces cell death following oxygen-glucose deprivation in primary neuronal cultures and in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion when used at a dose of 30 mg/kg.{38572} It is neuroprotective against excitotoxicity induced by kainite in vitro and in vivo and reduces the incidence of clonic seizures in various seizure models in mice and rats (ED50s = 0.08-49.3 nM, i.c.v.).{38571,38570} ACPT-I also has anxiolytic-like effects in mice and rats, however, these effects can be blocked by WAY-100635 (Item No. 14599) and flumazenil (Item No. 14252), indicating the involvement of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT1A and GABAA receptor.{38573}

    CAY10512 – 50 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) – 250 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}
