An inhibitor of EAAT2 (Ki = 23 µM); selective for EEAT2 over EAAT1 and EAAT3 (Ki = >3 mM for both); reduces depressive-like behavior in rats in the forced swim test at 5 nmol infused into the infralimbic cortex; induces anhedonia-like behavior in rats in a sucrose intake test at 6.25 nmol infused into the PFC; impairs memory acquisition

Dihydrokainic acid (DHK) is an inhibitor of excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2; Ki = 23 µM for glutamate uptake by COS cells expressing EAAT2).{42902} It is selective for EEAT2 over EAAT1 and EAAT3 (Ki = >3 mM for both). DHK microinfusion (5 nmol) into the rat infralimbic cortex reduces the time spent immobile in the forced swim test, indicating antidepressant-like behavior, an effect that is blocked by the AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX (Item No. 14914) and the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT1A antagonist WAY-100635 (Item No. 14599).{42903,42904} It also increases glutamate and serotonin levels and the expression of c-Fos in the dorsal raphe nucleus. In contrast, DHK microinjection (6.25 nmol) into the rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) increases the latency to drink sucrose in a sucrose intake test, indicating anhedonia-like behavior.{42906} It also impairs memory acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval in mice in the novel object recognition test.{42905}

    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.

  • 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 – 1 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.
