7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) is a monophenolic flavone with diverse effects. It acts as an agonist of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor TrkB (Kd = 320 nM), protecting neurons that express TrkB from apoptosis.{27651} 7,8-DHF is neuroprotective in an animal model of Parkinson’s disease.{27651} It supports emotional learning in mice and reverses memory deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.{27655,27653} It also improves motor function and extends survival in an animal model of Huntington’s disease.{27650} 7,8-DHF inhibits the cytochrome P450 aromatase (IC50 = 10 µM) and, in this way, alters estrogen metabolism.{27652} It also has antioxidant action that increases intracellular glutathione synthesis and scavenges reactive oxygen species.{27654}

    CAY10512 – 50 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity.

  • 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}

    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.
