Prucalopride is a potent and selective agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT4 (Kis = 2.5 and 8 nM for human 5-HT4A and 5-HT4B, respectively).{38962} Prucalopride is greater than 250-fold selective for 5-HT4 over a panel of 53 overexpressed receptors, including 5-HT subtypes, but does bind to human dopamine D4 and sigma-1 (σ1) receptors and mouse 5-HT3 receptors (Kis = 2.3, 3.7, and 3.8 μM, respectively). It induces contractions in guinea pig colon with an EC50 value of 33 nM, an effect that is blocked by the 5-HT4 antagonist GR113808 but not the 5-HT2A and 5-HT3 antagonists ketanserin (Item No. 22058) and granisetron (Item No. 21239), respectively.{38963} It also facilitates non-cholinergic contractions induced by electrical stimulation. In fasted dogs, oral administration of prucalopride increases colonic motility by inhibiting distal colon contractions (ED50 = 0.04 mg/kg), an effect that is blocked by pretreatment with the 5-HT4 antagonist GR125487. Prucalopride (5-10 mg/kg, s.c.) increases acetylcholine and histamine levels in the rat prefrontal cortex by 2.4-fold and 3-fold, respectively, and increases the power of hippocampal theta oscillations.{38964} Formulations containing prucalopride have been used in the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation.

  • 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.
