Fluorobexarotene is an agonist of retinoid X receptor α (RXRα).{54298} It binds to RXRα (Ki = 12 nM) and induces RXRα-mediated transcription in a mammalian two-hybrid assay (EC50 = 43 nM in Caco-2 cells expressing the human receptor). It also acts as an agonist at the retinoic acid receptor (RAR), inducing 25% of the activity of the RAR agonist all-trans retinoic acid (Item No. 11017) when used at a concentration of 100 nM. Fluorobexarotene (5 and 10 µM) enhances basolateral-to-apical transport of a fluorescent amyloid-β (1-42) (Aβ42) peptide in an in vitro model of blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport when used at concentrations of 5 and 10 µM.{54299} It increases brain-to-peripheral transport of Aβ42 by 3.3-fold in wild-type, but not apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout, mice following intraperitoneal administration at a dose of 20 mg/kg.

  • 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 – 25 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.

    CAY10512 – 10 mg

    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. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
