Retro-2 is a selective inhibitor of retrograde protein trafficking mediated by syntaxin-5 at the interface between the endosome and trans-Golgi network, with no discernable effects on other intracellular trafficking pathways.{38929,38932} Retro-2 inhibits ebolavirus infection with an EC50 value of 12.2 µM and reduces ricin-induced toxicity by 2.7-fold when used at a concentration of 20 µM in HeLa cells.{38932,38931} Retro-2 also blocks JC polyomavirus, BK polyomavirus, and SV40 infectivity in Vero green monkey kidney epithelial cells in vitro (EC50s = 28.4, 61.2, and 58.6 µM, respectively).{38928} In mouse models, Retro-2 improves survival and reduces symptoms following infection with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg and protects against ricin challenge when administered prophylactically at a dose of 2 mg/kg.{38932,38930}

  • 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}

    CAY10512 – 500 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}
