Hypocrellin A is a perylenequinoid that has been found in Shiraia bambusicola and has diverse biological activities.{52379,52380} It is active against C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, and C. tropicalis fungi (IC50s = 0.65, 1, and 85 µg/ml, respectively), as well as S. aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), P. aeruginosa, and M. intracellulare bacteria (IC50s = 3, 7, 10, and 2.5 µg/ml, respectively).{52379} Hypocrellin A is also active against L. donovani promastigotes (IC50 = 0.27 µg/ml). Upon photoactivation with UV radiation, hypocrellin A induces production of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis and reduces cell viability of A549 cancer cells.{52380}

  • 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}
