MHY908 is a dual agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and PPARγ that increases transcriptional activity of PPARα and PPARγ in a luciferase reporter assay in AC2F rat liver cells when used at a concentration of 5 µM.{29289} In vivo, MHY908 (3 mg/kg per day) reduces serum glucose, triglyceride, and insulin levels and improves hepatic steatosis by reducing hepatic triglyceride levels and lipid droplet accumulation in db/db mice and 20-month-old rats.{29289,37693} It reduces peroxynitrite and COX-2 levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and Akt phosphorylation in isolated kidney from 20-month-old rats when administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg.{37693} MHY908 inhibits mushroom tyrosinase (IC50 = 8.19 µM).{37692} It also inhibits increases in melanin content in α-melanocyte stimulating hormone-induced B16/F10 murine melanoma cells when used at a concentration of 10 µM.

  • 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}
