(–)-α-Bisabolol is a sesquiterpene alcohol that has been found in the essential oils of several aromatic plants, including C. sativa, C. indica, and C. sativa/C. indica hybrid strains, with diverse biological activities.{42303,42347,42348,42349,42350} It inhibits the growth of L. amazonensis promastigotes and amastigotes (IC50s = 8.07 and 4.29 μg/ml, respectively).{42347} It also reduces the growth of L. infantum and L. donovani amastigotes (IC50s = 56.9 and 39.4 μM, respectively) with a cytotoxic concentration (CC50) value of greater than 1,000 μM in L929 cells.{42348} In vivo, (–)-α-bisabolol (200 mg/kg) reduces parasite load in the liver and spleen in a mouse model of visceral leishmaniasis. (–)-α-Bisabolol (200 mg/kg) reduces the size of ethanol-induced lesions, decreases malondialdehyde (MDA) production, and increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in gastric mucosa in mice.{42349} It also decreases serotonin-, carrageenan-, and dextran-, but not histamine-, induced paw edema as well as acetic-acid induced writhing and paw-licking time in the formalin test in mice, indicating anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activity.{42350}

  • PtdIns-(3

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 100 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 500 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}

  • A potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM; also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H

    (R)-Roscovitine – 1 mg

    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}
