L-Cycloserine is a potent inhibitor of serine palmitoyl transferase (SPT), the first enzyme in the sphingolipid synthesis pathway.{39381} It inhibits bacterial SPT activity by 80% at a concentration of 25 µM, which is 100 times more potent than D-cycloserine (Item No. 22194). L-Cycloserine inhibits SPT activity up to 86% in a dose-dependent manner in microsomes prepared from mouse brain following administration of doses ranging from 25-200 mg/kg. It also inhibits SPT in rabbit aorta and several aminotransferases in vitro and in vivo in rat.{39382,39383} L-Cycloserine inhibits the growth of M. tuberculosis through branched chain aminotransferase inactivation, and it does so more rapidly and potently than D-cycloserine (MICs = 0.3 and 2.3 µg/ml, respectively).{39380}

  • A small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    SC-1 – 10 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
