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) – 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}

  • 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 – 5 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.
