PA-824 is an anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) agent that is activated intracellularly via deazaflavin-dependent nitroreductase (Ddn) metabolism into a desnitro metabolite that kills M. tuberculosis by releasing reactive nitrogen species (RNS), including nitric oxide.{16570} It is active against replicating and non-replicating M. tuberculosis but exhibits little or no activity against M. avium, M. smegmatis, M. chelonae, and M. fortuitum.{37419} In vitro, it inhibits growth of susceptible and mono- and multi-drug resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates (MICs = 0.015-5 μg/ml).{37419,37420} In vivo, PA-824 (100 mg/kg per day) decreases luminescence in the lung to background levels after 60 days of treatment in a mouse model of systemic infection with a reporter strain of M. tuberculosis.{37419} It also decreases M. tuberculosis burden in the lung and spleen in an aerosol challenged guinea pig model of TB when administered at a dose of 40 mg/kg per day for 30 days.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 50 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 – 100 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}
