Bis(methylthio)gliotoxin is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from G. deliquescens that has diverse biological activities.{36971} It inhibits PAF- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation in rabbit platelet-rich plasma (IC50s = 8.4 and 84.2 µM, respectively) but has no effect on arachidonic acid- or ADP-induced platelet aggregation (IC50s = >400 µM).{36972} Bis(methylthio)gliotoxin inhibits growth of HCT116 colon cancer cells (IC50 = 23.56 µM).{36973} It inhibits PAF-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs when administered at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg and is less toxic to mice (LD50 = >500 mg/kg) than gliotoxin (Item No. 11433).{36972,36974} Bis(methylthio)gliotoxin has been used as a serum biomarker in patients infected with invasive aspergillosis.{36975}

  • 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.
