Helvolic acid is a mycotoxin originally isolated from A. fumigatus that has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.{33797,33799} At 4-16 mg/L, it acted synergistically with erythromycin (500-2,000 mg/L) in vitro on five multi-drug resistant strains of S. aureus.{33798} At 10 mg/kg/d, it reduced tumor growth and prolonged survival synergistically with cyclophosphamide (20 mg/kg/d) in a mouse model of sarcoma but had no effect when administered alone.{33800}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 µg

    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.

  • 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}
