6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is an inhibitor of purine synthesis and interconversion.{36297} It is rapidly converted to 6-mercaptopurine ribonucleoside-5′-monophosphate, which inhibits phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) amidotransferase, the rate-limiting enzyme in purine synthesis. It also inhibits the conversion of IMP to adenylosuccinic acid and xanthylic acid and blocks AMP formation in vitro. 6-MP (30 mg/kg) inhibits growth of sarcoma 180, adenocarcinoma E 0771, and adenocarcinoma 755 tumors and reduces the size of leukemia L1210 subcutaneous growths in mice.{36298} It also decreases delayed-type hypersensitivity and thyroid inflammation in a guinea pig model of thyroiditis when administered pre- or post-disease onset.{36299} Formulations containing mercaptopurine have been used for maintenance therapy in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.{36300}

  • 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}
