N-(n-Butyl)deoxygalactonojirimycin (NB-DGJ) is an inhibitor of the glycolipid biosynthesis enzyme glucosylceramide synthase and the glycolipid catabolic enzymes glucocerebrosidase (GBA) and β-glucosidase 2 (GBA2).{31624,49490,49491,49492,50926} It also inhibits acid α-glucosidase, sucrase, maltase, and lactase.{49492} NB-DGJ (0.5-500 µM) reduces glycolipid levels in HL-60 and WEHI-3B cells.{31624} It decreases brain ganglioside levels in a Glb1-/- neonatal mouse model of GM1 gangliosidosis when administered intraperitoneally at doses of 600 and 1,200 mg/kg four times per day for three days.{31622} NB-DGJ (1-1,200 mg/kg per day for 35 days) increases testicular glucosylceramide levels in mice.{49490} NB-DGJ induces abnormal spermatid and acrosome formation, as well as reduces motility, in isolated mouse epididymal sperm when administered at doses of 15, 25, and 50 mg/kg per day.{50926} It also induces infertility, an effect that is reversed by withdrawal, in the same model.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 500 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 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}

    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}
