Manumycin A is an antibiotic that acts as a potent and selective farnesyltransferase (FTase) inhibitor with anti-tumor activity.{15668,15667} It inhibits rat brain FTase with a Ki value of 1.2 µM, thereby preventing Ras activation which requires farnesylation at the C-terminus for membrane attachment.{15668} It exhibits significant antitumor activity against Ki-ras-activated solid tumors in mice at a dose of 6.3 mg/kg.{15668} Manymycin A inhibits IκB kinase (IKK), independent of FTase inhibition, in an number of cells types with effective concentrations of 2-10 µM.{15666} In ApoE-deficient mice, Manumycin A treatment for 22 weeks at 5 mg/kg reduced aortic fatty streak lesion size to 43% of vehicle-treated animals, indicating FTase inhibition as a potential target for prevention or treatment of atherosclerosis.{15035}

  • 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}

    CAY10512 – 10 mg

    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}
