Cancer cell survival appears partly dependent on antioxidative enzymes, whose expression is regulated by the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, to quench potentially toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by their metastatic transformation.{20112} Piperlongumine, isolated from the Piper longum L. plant, is a small molecule that selectively increases the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis in cancer cells but not in normal cells. At concentrations less than 15 μM, piperlongumine induces cell death, upregulating proapoptotic genes, and repressing pro-survival genes.{19860} In established bladder, breast, lung, and melanoma tumor xenografts in mice, piperlongumine administered daily at 2.4 mg/kg for 2 weeks inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis.{19860} Piperlongumine increases ROS in both cancer cells and normal cells engineered to have a cancer geneotype by selectively binding to proteins known to regulate redox and ROS homeostasis.{19860} Previously, piperlongumine has been used as a crude treatment to improve poor blood circulation. It affects platelet function in rabbits by inhibiting platelet aggregation induced by the thromboxane A2 agonist U-46619 with a Ki value of 6.8 μM.{20111}

  • 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 – 50 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}

  • 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}
