Felbamate-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of felbamate (Item No. 18000) by GC- or LC-MS. Felbamate is an inhibitor of NMDA receptors and a modulator of GABAA receptors that also has broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against excitatory amino acid receptors.{45398,45399,45400} It binds to NMDA channels with dissociation constants of approximately 200, 110, and 55 µM in the resting, activated, and desensitized states, respectively, and inhibits NMDA currents in a use-dependent manner.{45398} Felbamate is a positive modulator of α1β2γ2S, α1β3γ2S, α2β2γ2S, and α2β3γ2S subunit-containing GABAA receptors expressed in X. laevis oocytes, with negative modulation of GABAA receptors containing the subunits α1β1, α1β3γ2L, α4β1γ2S, α4β3γ2S, and α6β1γ2S.{45399} It inhibits seizures induced by maximal electroshock, pentylenetetrazole (Item No. 18682), and picrotoxin (Item No. 20771) in mice (ED50s = 16.3, 5.51, and 5.23 mg/kg, respectively). Formulations containing felbamate have been used in the treatment of severe refractory seizures.

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.

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.
