Ibudilast is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4; IC50s = 54, 65, 239, and 166 nM for PDE4A-D, respectively).{23596} It is selective for PDE4 over PDE1, PDE7A, PDE7B, and PDE9A (IC50s = ≥10,000 nM for all) but does inhibit PDE3A, PDE3B, and PDE5A (IC50s = 1,600, 2,700, and 3,510 nM, respectively). Ibudilast inhibits LPS-induced production of TNF-α and fMLP-induced production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4; Item No. 20110) in isolated human whole blood (IC50s = 6.2 and 2.5 μM, respectively). It inhibits bronchospasm by 34% in a guinea pig model of leukotriene-mediated allergic bronchospasm when administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg/kg.{47641} Ibudilast prevents increases in TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 expression in the striatum in a mouse model of MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease.{47642} It also increases striatal expression of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in MPTP-treated and -untreated mice when administered at doses of 40 and 50 mg/kg, respectively, twice per day.

    (R)-Roscovitine – 1 mg

    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}

  • 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}
