25-hydroxy Cholesterol is an oxysterol.{20437} It is formed from cholesterol by cholesterol-25-hydroxylase, and its production can be induced by inflammation or infection.{60052} 25-hydroxy Cholesterol suppresses endogenous cholesterol synthesis by binding to insulin-induced gene (INSIG) proteins and preventing sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) from being transported to the Golgi. It inhibits IgA class switching induced by LPS and various cytokines in B cells (IC50 = ~50 nM).{20445} 25-hydroxy Cholesterol inhibits replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Vero cells (EC50 = 3.675 µM) and reduces increases in viral protein production in infected Vero cells when used prior to infection.{60053} It reduces viral RNA loads in the lung and trachea in a mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg per day. Serum levels of 25-hydroxy cholesterol are increased in mice expressing human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), the functional receptor for SARS-CoV-2, in a model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and in a patient with COVID-19, the primarily respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2.

  • 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 – 5 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.

  • 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}

  • PtdIns-(3

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 25 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.
