(±)9(10)-DiHOME is the diol form of (±)9(10)-EpOME (Item No. 52400), a cytochrome P450-derived epoxide of linoleic acid (Item Nos. 90150 | 90150.1 | 21909) also known as leukotoxin.{8529} It is formed from 9(10)-EpOME by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) in neutrophils.{17057} It is toxic to Sf21 cells expressing sEH and to lacZ-expressing control cells, unlike leukotoxin, which is only toxic to cells containing sEH.{8529,17057} A mixture of 9(10)- and 12(13)-DiHOME induces cell death in rabbit renal proximal tubule cells concomitant with mitochondrial respiration dysfunction and induces lung injury, respiratory distress, and mortality in mice.{15651,5617} 9(10)-DiHOME is a toxic lipid mediator involved in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a common and often fatal complication in severe burn victims.{17057,15651} Levels of 9(10)-DiHOME are increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from women, but not men, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).{42554} BALF levels are also increased in patients with allergic asthma following allergen exposure compared to patients without allergic asthma.{49189} It has been used as a plasma biomarker for sEH activity in vivo.{42555} (±)9(10)-DiHOME MaxSpec® standard is a quantitative grade standard of (±)9(10)-DiHOME (Item No. 53400) that has been prepared specifically for mass spectrometry and related applications where quantitative reproducibility is required. The solution has been prepared gravimetrically and is supplied in a deactivated glass ampule sealed under argon. The concentration was verified by comparison to an independently prepared calibration standard. This (±)9(10)-DiHOME MaxSpec® standard is guaranteed to meet identity, purity, stability, and concentration specifications and is provided with a batch-specific certificate of analysis. Ongoing stability testing is performed to ensure the concentration remains accurate throughout the shelf life of the product. Note: The amount of solution added to the vial is in excess of the listed amount. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure volumes for preparation of calibration standards. Follow recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain product quality.

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}

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}
