Alosetron is a potent and selective antagonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT3 with Ki values of 0.3 and 0.4 nM at the rat cortical and human recombinant receptors, respectively.{39117} It has no activity at α1-, β1-, and β2- adrenergic, M1, M2, and M3 muscarinic, GABAA, D2 dopamine, or nicotinic receptors at concentrations up to 10 μM.{39120} In vitro, alosetron blocks activation of 5-HT3 receptors, which prevents depolarization of the isolated rat vagus nerve (Ki = 0.2 nM). Alosetron (0.1 mg/kg) reduces wrap restraint stress-induced defecation and the number of abdominal muscle contractions in a rat model of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).{39118} Formulations containing alosetron are in clinical trials for treatment of severe IBS-D in women.{39119}

  • 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}
