Biperiden is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist of (Kis = 0.48, 6.3, 3.9, 2.4, and 6.3 nM for M1-5 receptors, respectively, in CHO-K1 cells expressing cloned receptors).{22786} It inhibits binding of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) to muscarinic receptors in tissue homogenates (IC50s = 79, 52, and 38 nM for rat heart, rat lung, and guinea pig lung, respectively) and in vivo (IC50s = 2.5, 1.1, and 1.2 mg/kg for mouse cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and heart, respectively).{39393,39394} Biperiden (1 μM) increases spontaneous and electrically-evoked dopamine (DA) and electrically-evoked acetylcholine (ACh) release from rabbit caudate nucleus slices preincubated with dopamine in vitro.{39395} It is also an uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist and inhibits NMDA-evoked ACh release at a concentration of 10 μM.{39396} Biperiden (0.01-1.0 mg/kg) reduces physostigmine-induced tremor in rats in a dose-dependent manner.{39397} Formulations containing biperiden have been used as an adjuvant treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 250 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}
