L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (L-trans-2,4-PDC) is an inhibitor of L-glutamate transport (Ki = 4.6 μM in rat brain synaptosomes).{40981} It inhibits radioligand binding to NMDA receptors by 13% but has no effect on AMPA or kainate receptors when used at a concentration of 100 μM. L-trans-2,4-PDC is neurotoxic to astrocyte-rich and astrocyte-poor rat cortical cultures (EC50s = 320 and 50 μM, respectively), an effect that can be reversed by the NMDA antagonist MK-801 (Item No. 10009019) and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase but not the non-NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist CNQX (Item No. 14618).{40982} It induces efflux of the non-metabolizable glutamate analog [3H]-D-aspartate in an extracellular sodium-dependent manner. In vivo, L-trans-2,4-PDC (0.05-0.2 μg/side) prevents amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion in a dose-dependent manner in rats when injected directly into the nucleus accumbens.{40983} It also increases bladder intercontraction interval (ICI) without affecting postvoid residual or basal pressure in rats.{40984}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 25 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.

    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}

  • 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}
