Nepicastat is an inhibitor of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH; IC50 = 9 nM for the purified human enzyme).{45348} It is selective for DBH over a panel of 12 enzymes and 13 neurotransmitter receptors (IC50s or Kis = >10 μM). Nepicastat dose-dependently reduces norepinephrine content and increases dopamine content in the mesenteric artery, left ventricle, and cerebral cortex in spontaneously hypertensive rats, as well as in the renal artery, left ventricle, and cerebral cortex in beagle dogs. It attenuates increases in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate induced by preganglionic sympathetic nerve stimulation in pithed spontaneously hypertensive rats when administered orally at doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg.{45349} Nepicatstat (50 mg/kg) reduces the progressive ratio response for cocaine, but not food or sucrose pellets, in rats.{45350} It also reduces reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior induced by cues, yohimbine (Item No. 19869), or foot-shock in rats.

  • 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}

  • 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 – 25 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.
