4-octyl Itaconate is a prodrug form of itaconate, an endogenous cellular metabolite produced via decarboxylation of cis-aconitate by the enzyme encoded by IRG1.{42667,40962} It is hydrolyzed to itaconate by esterases in C2C12 cells and LPS-activated mouse macrophages where it acts as a regulator of macrophage function with anti-inflammatory properties.{40962} 4-octyl Itaconate increases nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein levels and expression of Nrf2 target genes and enhances LPS-induced Nrf2 stabilization in mouse macrophages. In vivo, 4-octyl itaconate (50 mg/kg) decreases serum levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, increases Nrf2 protein expression, and protects against LPS-induced lethality in wild-type, but not Nrf2 knockout, mice.

  • 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}
