Losartan carboxaldehyde is an intermediate aldehyde metabolite of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, losartan (Item No. 10006594). It does not block angiotensin receptors, but instead inhibits endothelial cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory actions.{30560} At 1 µM in vitro, losartan carboxaldehyde has also been shown to block the upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 mRNA and COX-dependent generation of thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin F2α (Item No. 16010).{30560} Losartan carboxaldehyde can also act as a partial agonist (EC50 = 17.1 µM) of the insulin-sensitizing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ in vitro.{30561,30559}

  • 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}
