Pifithrin-α (PFT-α; Item No. 13326) is a reversible inhibitor of p53-dependent transcription and apoptosis.{17259} Cyclic PFT-α, also known as PFT-β, is a stable analog of PFT-α, formed by the condensation of pifithrin-α in solution.{23585} It inhibits the growth of the cancer cell lines IGROV-1, A2780, and HCT116 (IC50 = 23, 77, and 103 μM, respectively).{23585,23586} At doses lower than those that inhibit growth, cyclic PFT-α induces autophagy in HCT116 cells and sensitizes IGROV-1 and H460 cells to anti-microtubule agents.{23579,23580} In addition, 10 μM cyclic PFT-α blocks p53-dependent protection from DNA damage, induced by hydrogen peroxide or ultraviolet radiation, in melanocytes.{23581}

  • 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}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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.
