Rauwolscine is a natural alkaloid that acts as a selective and reversible α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist (Ki = 12 nM).{25653} It is a stereoisomer of yohimbine, which potently antagonizes both α1- and α2-adrenergic receptors.{25653} Rauwolscine also acts as a receptor antagonist at the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor (Ki = 14.3 nM) and as a weak partial agonist at 5-HT1A (IC50 = 1.3 µM).{25654,25657,25652} The α2-adrenergic receptor has diverse physiological functions and antagonists like rauwolscine have numerous applications, including the modulation of mood and behavior.{25656,25655}

  • 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.
