Famciclovir is an orally bioavailable prodrug form of the antiviral guanosine analog penciclovir (Item No. 22918).{39519} Famciclovir is rapidly deacetylated and oxidized in vivo to form penciclovir, which is active against clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in a plaque reduction assay with IC50 values of 1.6, 6, and 12 μM, respectively. Both famciclovir and the product of its deacetylation, 6-deoxypenciclovir, are oxidized in vitro by human, guinea pig, and rat liver aldehyde oxidase, with 6-deoxypenciclovir being converted to penciclovir.{39520} Peak plasma concentrations of penciclovir (mean 3.5 μg/ml) are reached 0.5 hours after oral administration of famciclovir (40 mg/kg) in rats.{39521} Famciclovir (25 mg/kg) has a longer half-life in dogs, with peak concentrations of penciclovir (mean 4.4 μg/ml) in plasma occurring after 3 hours.

  • 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}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 100 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.
