HDMAPP is a metabolite of the microbial dioxyxylulose-phosphate pathway, which is analogous to the isopentenyl pyrophosphate pathway in mammals. It is a protease-resistant and phosphatase-sensitive pyrophosphate produced by bacteria and plants.{17389,17388} HDMAPP is a non-peptide ligand, also called a phosphoantigen, that binds the T cell receptor on Vγ9Vδ2 peripheral blood lymphocytes with high affinity (EC50 = 0.39 nM).{16651} It induces the expansion of human memory Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, but does not increase their ability to inhibit intracellular mycobacterial growth.{26867,26866} Neonatal Vγ9Vδ2 T cells require micromolar concentrations of HDMAPP to drive expansion.{26865}
A microbial metabolite that binds the TCR on Vγ9Vδ2 peripheral blood lymphocytes with high affinity (EC50 = 0.39 nM); induces the expansion of human memory Vγ9Vδ2 T cells

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DPPC) is a zwitterionic glycerophospholipid commonly used in the formation of lipid monolayers, bilayers, and liposomes for use in a variety of applications.{14480,24261,14478,14479} It has been used in the formation of proteoliposomes for implantation of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase into human erythrocyte membranes.{14478} Incorporation of glycosphingolipid antigens into DPPC-containing liposomes increases the immunogenicity of the antigens in mice.{14479}

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}

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}
