Salvinorin B is the major deacetylated metabolite of salvinorin A (Item No. 11487).{36003,34652} It reportedly lacks pharmacological activity in vitro and in vivo when used in unperturbed systems. It binds as an agonist at the κ-opioid receptor (Ki = 2,950 nM; EC50 = 248 nM) but does not elicit antinociceptive effects even after i.c.v. administration. However, salvinorin B is a ligand for the inhibitory G protein-coupled κ-opioid designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD; KORD; EC50s = 11.8 and 160 nM with high or low levels of KORD expression, respectively).{38358} It leads to hyperpolarization and inhibition of neuronal firing in neurons expressing KORD and has no effect on neurons transduced with mCherry as a control. Salvinorin B increases locomotor activity in VGAT-ires-Cre mice expressing KORD in the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra, increases food intake in SIM1-Cre mice expressing KORD in the paraventricular hypothalamus, and decreases food intake in AGRP-ires-Cre mice expressing KORD in the arcuate nucleus. Salvinorin B can be used in combination with clozapine N-oxide (CNO; Item No. 16882) because it is inactive at Gq-based DREADDs. Salvinorin B is also available as an analytical reference standard (Item No. 11488).

    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.
