2-(Phosphonomethyl)-pentanedioic acid (2-PMPA) is a potent inhibitor of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP II), also known as N-acetylated α-linked dipeptidase (NAALADase), with a Ki value of 98 pM for release of glutamate from the NAALADase peptide substrate N-acetylasparatylglutamate (NAAG).{38879} It is selective for GCP II/NAALADase over a panel of 100 receptors, transporters, ion channels, and enzymes at a concentration of 10 μM.{7392} 2-PMPA is neuroprotective against hypoxia (EC50 = 8.4 μM), but not veratridine-induced injury, in neuron-enriched primary cultures from rat embryo cerebellum.{38880} In vivo, 2-PMPA reduces neuronal cell death induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion via increases in NAAG expression and reduction of glutamate in rats.{7392} 2-PMPA (100 mg/kg) blocks the conditioned place preference response to cocaine, but not food, in male rats.{38881} It reduces the number of flinches induced by formalin injection into the footpad of mice when administered at a dose of 10 μg per animal, an effect that is reversed by the group II metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist LY341495.{38878} 2-PMPA also decreases severity and delays onset of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice.{38882}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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 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.
