SMIFH2 is an inhibitor of formin homology 2 (FH2) domains.{54322} It inhibits assembly of profilin-actin mediated by mouse formin mDia1(FH1FH2) with an IC50 value of approximately 15 μM. It also inhibits actin assembly mediated by FH1FH2 constructs of mDia2, C. elegans CYK-1, S. pombe Cdc12 or Fus1, or S. cerevisiae Bni1. SMIFH2 (25 μM) disassembles formin-dependent actin cables and contractile rings, but not Arp2/3-dependent actin patches, in fission yeast. It is cytotoxic to NIH3T3 fibroblasts (IC50 = 28 μM). SMIFH2 (10 μM) increases and decreases the percentage of NIH3T3 cells with thin and thick F-actin bundles, respectively.

    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}

  • 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}
