Baccatin III is a polycyclic diterpene originally isolated from the yew tree (Taxus) that is a precursor of paclitaxel (Item No. 10461).{37435,37436} Baccatin III induces apoptosis in JR4-Jurkat leukemia, HepG2 liver hepatocellular carcinoma, HeLa cervical, OVCAR-3 ovarian carcinoma, and T47D breast cancer cell lines (IC50s = 3.5, 3, 4, 5, and 2 μM, respectively).{37437} It dose-dependently increases the antigen presenting cell (APC) capacity of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DCs) sensitized to OVA peptide but does not affect their phagocytic activity.{37438} Baccatin III (0.5 mg/kg per day) decreases tumor growth of 4T1 mammary carcinoma and CT26 colon carcinoma flank implants by 65.6 and 63.9%, respectively, as well as inhibits the accumulation and activity of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in spleen in immunocompetent mice.{37439}

  • 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 – 5 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.
