Mepenzolate is an antagonist of muscarinic (M) acetylcholine receptors (Kis = 0.68 and 2.6 nM for human M2 and M3 receptors, respectively).{41272} It has antispasmodic activity in the gastrointestinal tract of anesthetized cats and dogs when administered at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg.{41273} Mepenzolate decreases airspace enlargement induced by elastase or cigarette smoke and reduces respiratory dysfunction in a mouse model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).{41274} It also reduces oxidative stress, decreases the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and increases the expression of TGF-β1, IGF-1, and VEGF in a diabetic wound healing mouse model.{41275}

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 100 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}
