Gabaculine is a naturally occurring, conformationally constrained analog of GABA and an irreversible inhibitor of GABA transaminase (GABA-T; Ki = 2.9 μM).{36523} It irreversibly inhibits D-amino acid transaminase, L-alanine transaminase, and L-aspartate transaminase with Ki values of 0.1, 1, and 55 mM, respectively.{36520} Gabaculine also irreversibly inhibits ornithine aminotransferase in vitro and in mouse brain and liver homogenates, where ornithine aminotransferase activity is suppressed for over 24 hours when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg.{36521} Gabaculine increases latency to convulsion in the 3-mercaptopropionic acid-induced and minimal electroshock-induced seizure models (ED50s = 135 and 200 mg/kg, respectively) and inhibits 3-mercaptopropionic acid-induced increases in glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) activity and GABA-T activity in mice (ED50s =135 mg/kg), however, the doses fall above the LD50 value of 62 mg/kg.{36522} Gabaculine (135 mg/kg, i.p.) elevates concentrations of GABA in mouse brain by over 500% and knocks out GABA-T activity to below detection limits.

  • 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 – 1 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.

  • 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}
