An inhibitor of p53-HDM-2 interaction that can reactivate the tumor suppressor function of wild-type p53; binds to p53 with an apparent Kd value of 1.5 nM and prevents interaction with HDM-2 resulting in p53 stabilization

HDM-2 (human double minute-2; MDM-2 in mouse) is a key negative regulator of p53 that binds to and targets p53 for proteasomal degradation. Overexpression of HDM-2 in some tumors leads to inactivation of p53 thereby allowing tumor cells to escape p53-induced apoptosis.{13684} RITA (reactivation of p53 and induction of tumor cell apoptosis) is a small molecule inhibitor of p53-HDM-2 interaction that can reactivate the tumor suppressor function of wild-type p53.{12386} It binds to p53 with an apparent Kd of 1.5 nM and prevents interaction with HDM-2 resulting in p53 stabilization, accumulation and activation.{12386} RITA potently inhibits the growth of a variety of cancer cell lines in the sub-micromolar range, inducing both DNA-protein and DNA-DNA cross links in human renal cancer cells.{13683} RITA reduced tumor size by 90% at a dose of 10 mg/kg in SCID mice bearing HCT116 tumors, and caused complete regression of A-498 tumor cell xenografts in nude mice at a dose of 45 mg/kg.{12386,13682}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 100 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.

    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}
