Brusatol is a quassinoid that has been found in B. javanica and has diverse biological activities, including antimalarial, lipolytic, antioxidative, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties.{53959,46883,53960,53961} It is active against chloroquine-resistant isolates of P. falciparum (EC50 = 7.58 ng/ml) and induces lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes when used at a concentration of 160 nM.{53959,46883} Brusatol (40 nM) reduces nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) ubiquitination and degradation and Nrf2 target gene expression in A549 lung cancer cells.{53960} It enhances cytotoxicity induced by cisplatin (Item No. 13119) in A549 cells when used at a concentration of 40 nM in vitro and in an A549 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg. Brusatol also inhibits LPS-induced production of TNF-α, pro-IL-1β, prostaglandin E2 (Item No. 14010), and nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 macrophages. It reduces diarrhea and the severity of histopathological injury, as well as increases colonic levels of catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis when administered at doses of 0.5 and 1 mg/kg.{53961}

  • 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.

  • CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}

    CAY10512 – 100 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}

  • 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}
