Dienogest is a synthetic progestin and progesterone receptor (PR) agonist (EC50s = 3.4-10.5 nM in transactivation assays).{46786} It is selective for PR over estrogen receptor α (ERα) and ERβ, as well as glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors (EC50s = >3,000 nM for all), as well as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and cortisol-binding globulin (CBG; IC50s = 900-950 and 7,970 nM, respectively, in radioligand binding assays). It also inhibits dihydrotestosterone-induced transactivation of the androgen receptor (EC50s = 420.6-775 nM). Dienogest (0.1, 0.3, and 1 mg/kg per day for 21 days, p.o.) reduces lesion formation in a rat model of endometriosis.{46787} It reduces 17β-estradiol benzoate-dependent tumor growth in an MCF-7 ovariectomized mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 0.1 and 1 mg/kg per day for 28 days.{46788} Formulations containing dienogest in combination with estradiol valerate have been used as contraceptives.

  • 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}

  • 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 – 10 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}
