Oxacillin is a semisynthetic β-lactam antibiotic.{32140,39735} It is active against clinical isolates of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus and penicillin-susceptible S. pneumoniae, as well as group A, group B, and viridans group streptococci with MIC90 values ranging from 0.06 to 2 µg/ml in vitro.{22658} Oxacillin is less effective toward other bacteria with MIC90 values of greater than 16 µg/ml for S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus, E. faecalis, E. faecium, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and penicillin-intermediate and -resistant S. pneumoniae. It targets the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting S. pneumoniae penicillin-binding proteins 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, and 3 in vitro with IC50 values ranging from 0.17 to 1.75 µM.{21711,39735} Oxacillin inhibits growth of S. aureus in a thigh model of infection in mice (ED50 = 45.19 mg/kg, s.c.).{39736} Formulations containing oxacillin have been used in the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections.

  • 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}

    1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DPPC) is a zwitterionic glycerophospholipid commonly used in the formation of lipid monolayers, bilayers, and liposomes for use in a variety of applications.{14480,24261,14478,14479} It has been used in the formation of proteoliposomes for implantation of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase into human erythrocyte membranes.{14478} Incorporation of glycosphingolipid antigens into DPPC-containing liposomes increases the immunogenicity of the antigens in mice.{14479}

    (R)-Roscovitine – 1 mg

    Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}
