Carbenoxolone is a derivative of β-glycyrrhetinic acid (Item No. 11845), a major metabolite of glycyrrhizin, one of the main constituents of licorice. Similar to β-glycyrrhetinic acid and glycyrrhizin, carbenoxolone has been shown to exhibit anti-ulcerative and anti-inflammatory properties.{29513} Carbenoxolone inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1; Item No. 10007815) conversion of cortisol to cortisone, which contributes to its potential to induce mineralocorticoid hypertension.{11854} It is also reported to inhibit 11β-HSD2 conversion of cortisone to cortisol resulting in improved cognitive and neuroprotective effects.{24097}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 50 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.

    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}
