Fluprostenol isopropyl ester is an analog of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α; Item Nos. 16010 | 16020) and an isopropyl ester prodrug form of (+)-fluprostenol (Item No. 16768).{8839,9613} Fluprostenol isopropyl ester is an FP receptor agonist, inducing phosphoinositide turnover in HEK293 cells expressing the human ocular FP receptor with an EC50 value of 40.2 nM.{11931} Topical application of fluprostenol isopropyl ester (0.01, 0.03, and 0.1 μg) induces miosis in conscious cats in a dose-dependent manner.{9613} It reduces intraocular pressure in a cynomolgus monkey model of ocular hypertension when administered topically at doses of 0.1 and 0.3 μg twice per day. Formulations containing fluprostenol isopropyl ester have been used in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 500 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}
