(–)-Stepholidine is a dopamine receptor antagonist and a partial agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT1A.{45111,45112,45113} (–)-Stepholidine binds to dopamine D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5 receptors (Kis = 5.1, 11.6, 24, 1,450, and 5.8 nM, respectively) as well as 5-HT1A, 5-HT2B, α2C-adrenergic receptors (α2C-ARs), and sigma-2 (σ2) receptors in a radioligand binding assay (Kis = 143, 226, 215, and 53 nM, respectively).{45111} It inhibits dopamine-induced cAMP accumulation in HEK293 cells expressing dopamine D1, D2, and D5 receptors with IC50 values of 20.5, 128, and 27 nM, respectively. (–)-Stepholidine inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production in CHO cells expressing rat 5-HT1A receptors (EC50 = 1.2 μM).{45112} In vivo, (–)-stepholidine (1 mg/kg, i.v.) increases dopamine neuron firing rates, the number of spikes in bursts, and the amplitude of slow oscillations by 20, 155, and 126%, respectively, in the rat ventral tegmental area (VTA), effects that can be blocked by the 5-HT1A antagonist WAY-100635 (Item No. 14599).{45113} Pretreatment with (–)-stepholidine inhibits amphetamine- and phencyclidine-induced locomotor activity in rats (ED50s = 2.4 and 6.5 mg/kg, respectively).{45114}

  • 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 – 10 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.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 25 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.
