Pramipexole (Item No. 11981) is an agonist of dopamine receptors that has applications in Parkinson’s disease and other disorders.{21783,21784,21785,21786} Pramipexole is usually available as a mixture of enantiomers, with the majority of the dopamine receptor-dependent activity resulting from the (S) form.{29401} (R)-Pramipexole is an enantiomer of pramipexole that is ~100-fold less active than the (S) form as a dopamine receptor agonist.{29401,29399} For this reason, it can be used as a negative control for the (S) form in the study of dopamine receptors. Both isoforms are antioxidants that target mitochondria to prevent apoptosis.{29401,29402,29398,29403} This cytoprotective effect of (R)-pramipexole, without dopaminergic side effects, suggests utility in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.{29401,29400}

  • 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}
