AMPK activator is an indirect activator of AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK (EC50 = 11.7 μM).{23464} It is thought to activate AMPK by inhibiting mitochondrial complex I, producing an increase in AMP levels.{23464} AMPK activator stimulates glucose uptake in L6 myocytes and promotes phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, a known target of AMPK.{23464} AMPK activator also decreases blood glucose concentrations in female Zucker diabetic rats, demonstrating its utility in whole animals.{23464} At 50 μM, it inhibits the growth of multiple myeloma cells.{23463} AMPK activator induces phosphorylation of raptor in PC3 prostate cancer cells, down-regulating mTORC1 signaling and reducing survivin expression.{23465}

  • 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}
