Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1-8) are G protein-coupled receptors that function to modulate brain excitatory signaling via presynaptic, postsynaptic, and glial mechanisms.{21634} DL-AP3 is a competitive mGluR1 antagonist that demonstrates a Ki value of 298 μM and an IC50 value of 1mM for rat mGluR1α when challenged with glutamate.{21635} DL-AP3 can antagonize excitatory amino acid-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis, induce Ca2+ mobilization in rat hippocampal slices, and inhibit phosphoserine phosphatase in rat brain cortex.{21634,21632} At concentrations from 10-300 μM DL-AP3 has been used to characterize the role of mGluR in long-term potentiation in the hippocampus in a model of learning and memory, the release of glutamate in Parkinson’s disease, and the increased activity of mGluR implicated in fragile X syndrome.{21633,21631,21630}

    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.

  • 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}
