Abietic acid is an abietane diterpene originally isolated from wood resin that has diverse biological activities, including enzyme inhibitory, antiproliferative, antibacterial, and anti-obesity properties.{42172,42173,42174,42175,42176,42177} It inhibits soybean 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and rat prostate testosterone 5α-reductase in cell-free assays (IC50s = 29.5 and 56 μM, respectively).{42173,42174} Abietic acid selectively inhibits proliferation of HeLa cervical cancer cells over noncancerous Vero cells (IC50s = 15 and 53 μM, respectively) and inhibits the growth of S. epidermidis, P. acnes, and S. mitis bacteria (MICs = 8, 4, and 16 μg/ml, respectively).{42175,42176} It induces expression of fatty acid binding protein 2 (FABP2; Item No. 10009548) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in differentiated 3T3-L1 mouse adipocytes when used at a concentration of 25 μM.{42178} Abietic acid (40 mg/kg per day) also decreases body and adipose tissue weight in mice fed a high-fat diet.{42177}

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 100 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}

  • 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 – 10 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.
