Methylnaltrexone is a quaternary positively-charged form of naltrexone (Item No. 15520) that does not cross the blood brain barrier. It is a peripherally restricted µ-opioid receptor antagonist with a Ki value of 10 nM for human recombinant receptors expressed in CHO-K1 cells and IC50 values of 130.7 and 0.43 nM in rat brain membranes prepared with sodium chloride or water, respectively.{41513} Methylnaltrexone is selective for µ-opioid receptors over δ- and κ-opioid receptors (Kis = 630.95 and 31.62 nM, respectively). It inhibits contractions evoked by electrical field stimulation (EFS) in ileum isolated from morphine-naïve guinea pigs and dose-dependently decreases spontaneous mechanical activity in ileum isolated from morphine-treated guinea pigs when administered at doses of 1 and 10 µM.{41514} It does not inhibit heroin self-administration in rats and does not induce withdrawal syndrome in morphine-dependent rhesus monkeys when administered at doses up to 32 mg/kg.{41513,41515} Formulations containing methylnaltrexone have been used in the treatment of opioid-induced constipation.

    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.

  • 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.
