TC 2559 is a CNS-selective partial agonist for α4β2 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with an EC50 value of 0.18 µM for calcium signaling in HEK293 cells expressing human recombinant nAChRs.{46064,46065} It is selective for α4β2 over α2β4, α4β4, α3β4, α3β2, and α7 subunit-containing nAChRs (EC50s = 14, 12.5, >30, >100, and >100 µM, respectively). It increases dopamine cell firing in the rat ventral tegmental area (VTA) in vitro. TC 2559 increases spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) in dorsal horn neurons, indicating an enhancement of inhibitory synaptic transmission, an effect that is blocked by the α4β2 subunit-containing nAChR antagonist DHβE.{46066} It reduces formalin-induced paw-licking time in mice when administered at doses of 3 and 10 mg/kg and increases paw withdrawal latency in a rat model of chronic constriction injury when administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg. TC 2559 (3 and 6 µmol/kg) also reverses cognitive deficits induced by scopolamine in rats, increasing step-through latency in a passive avoidance task.{46064}

  • PtdIns-(3

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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.

  • 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 – 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.

  • 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}
