(–)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a phenol that has been found in green and black tea plants and has diverse biological activities.{41816,3193,7634,15553,25719,15552,55280} It is lytic against T. cruzi amastigotes, with a 50% bactericidal concentration (MBC50) value of 0.53 pM.{41816} EGCG decreases deoxyguanosine oxidation and tyrosine nitration (IC50s = 0.25 and 0.11 mM, respectively) and inhibits macrophage-mediated LDL oxidation in vitro.{3193,7634} EGCG increases LDL receptor binding activity and lowers cholesterol levels in HepG2 cells via increased cholesterol efflux.{15553} It inhibits heregulin-β1-induced activation of ErbB2 and ErbB3, as well as migration and invasion of MCF-7 breast cancer cells.{25719} In vivo, EGCG reduces food intake and body weight, serum levels of insulin, leptin, testosterone, and growth hormone, and the size of the ventral prostate, testis, liver, and spleen in male Sprague Dawley, lean Zucker, and obese Zucker rats when administered at doses of 82, 81, and 92 mg/kg, respectively.{15552} It also reduces increases in hepatic steatosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, and injury in a mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by a methionine- and choline-deficient diet when administered at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg.{55280}

  • A potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM; also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H

    (R)-Roscovitine – 1 mg

    Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 50 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}
