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 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 – 5 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.
