Ligustrazine is a compound that has been found in L. wallichii and has diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anticancer properties.{46728,46727,46729} It inhibits hydrogen peroxide-induced decreases in cell viability and the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at concentrations of 100 and 150 μg/ml.{46728} Ligustrazine (50 and 100 μM) inhibits prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010) production induced by LPS and IFN-γ in primary rat glia.{46727} It reduces infarct volume, cortical edema, and cortical PGE2 levels in a rat model of transient focal cerebral ischemia induced by common carotid artery and middle cerebral artery occlusion when administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Ligustrazine inhibits the proliferation of MG-63, Saos-2, and U2OS osteosarcoma cells (IC50s = 10.3, 24.7, and 54.7 mg/ml, respectively) in vitro and reduces tumor growth in an MG-63 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg every other day.{46729}

  • 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 – 1 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.

  • A potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM; also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H

    (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}
