Cepharanthine is a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from S. cepharantha that is cationic and amphipathic and has been reported to decrease the fluidity of biological membranes.{31428} It exhibits antiparasitic, antimalarial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antimetastatic, and anticancer activities in various cell and animal models.{31428,31426,31429} Cepharanthine can decrease LPS-stimulated expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in macrophages and prevent the activation of NF-κB, ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK.{31427} It has also been shown to inhibit cell and tumor growth, inducing G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and decreasing expression of STAT3, Bcl-xL, c-Myc, and cyclin D1 in osteosarcoma models.{31425}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 100 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.

  • 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.
