JNJ-40418677 is a modulator of γ-secretase.{46387} It reduces the levels of amyloid-β (1-42) (Aβ42; Item No. 20574) in a cell-free γ-secretase modulation assay. It also reduces the secretion of Aβ42, but not total Aβ, in SK-N-BE(2) human neuroblastoma cells expressing amyloid precursor protein (APP; mean IC50 = 200 nM) and in primary rat cortical neurons (mean IC50 = 185 nM). JNJ-40418677 (100 and 300 mg/kg) reduces the level of Aβ42 in wild-type mouse brain. It decreases brain levels of Aβ42, Aβ40, and Aβ38 in the deposited fraction, and Aβ42 and Aβ40 in the soluble fraction, in the Tg2576 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease when administered at doses of 60 and 120 mg/kg per day in the diet for seven months. It also reduces increases in the number of amyloid plaques in Tg2576 mouse brain compared to vehicle control animals.

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 250 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}

    CAY10512 – 10 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}

    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.
