Leflunomide is a synthetic isoxazol and a prodrug form of A-771726 (Item No. 14404), a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitor.{22723} Leflunomide inhibits de novo pyrimidine synthesis to regulate T lymphocyte progression through the cell cycle. It inhibits proliferation and activation of T cells when used at concentrations of 25 and 100 µM, respectively, for naïve and memory CD4+ T cells.{46073} It also reduces the production of Th1 effector cells and increases differentiation of Th2 cells in vitro and in splenocytes isolated from KLH-immunized mice. Leflunomide (35 mg/kg per day) reduces and prevents inflammation in a proteoglycan-induced mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis.{46074} Formulations containing leflunomide have been used in the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis.

    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.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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.
