Abacavir is a nucleoside analog and an inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (Ki = 2.1 µM for the wild-type enzyme).{18404} It inhibits replication of a variety of HIV-1 and HIV-2 strains, including strains resistant to 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine (zidovudine; Item No. 15492) or 2′,3′-dideoxyinosine (didanosine; Item No. 23715), in HeLa cells stably expressing CD4 (IC50s = 5.8-21 µM). Abacavir inhibits replication of eight HIV-1 clinical isolates in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated isolated human peripheral blood lymphocytes with a mean IC50 value of 0.26 µM. It inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA synthesis in HepG2 cells (IC50 = 7 µM) and is also active against human cytomegalovirus (CMV) strain AD169 and the Petaluma strain of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in plaque reduction assays (IC50s = 32 and 0.4 µM, respectively). Formulations containing abacavir have been used in the treatment of HIV infection.

  • 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}

    CAY10512 – 100 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. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
