Deferasirox is an orally bioavailable synthetic, tridentate iron chelator that binds iron at a 2:1 ratio.{36858} It is selective for iron (Fe(III)) over Cu(II), Zn(II), Mg(II), and Ca(II) but does bind to Al(III). Deferasirox decreases iron levels in iron-loaded rat heart cells in vitro by 45.8 and 55.6% compared to control levels when used at concentrations of 160 and 320 µM, respectively.{27434} In hypertransfused rats, deferasirox (200 mg/kg) decreases radiolabeled liver iron levels from 41 to 21.7% and blood iron levels from 8.2 to 3.4%.{27434} It is primarily excreted via the fecal route, in contrast to the iron chelator deferoxamine (Item No. 14595).{27434} Deferasirox also inhibits proliferation of SAS human oral squamous carcinoma cells (EC50 = 21 µM), decreases cyclin D1 protein levels, and increases protein levels of N-Myc downregulated gene 1 (NDRG1) and NDRG3.{38960} It acts in a synergistic manner when used in combination with gemcitabine (Item Nos. 11690 | 9003096) to reduce proliferation of BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and reduce tumor growth in a BxPC-3 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 200 mg/kg.{36859} Formulations containing deferasirox have been used in the treatment of β-thalassemia and chronic iron overload.

  • 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}

    CAY10512 – 500 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}
