Transcrocetin is a natural apocarotenoid isolated from C. sativus and G. jasminoides that has antioxidant, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and antinociceptive properties.{41588,41589,41590,41591,41592,41593} It scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals (IC50 = 17.8 μg/ml) and inhibits growth of MKN28 stomach, MCF-7 breast, and Caco-2 colon cancer cell lines (IC50s = 53, 63, and 103 μM, respectively).{41589,41590} Transcrocetin (20 μM) protects primary rat microglial cells from LPS-induced death and decreases LPS-induced production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), TNF-α, IL-1β, and NF-κB.{41591} Transcrocetin (100 mg/kg) increases the level of glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in cardiac tissue in a rat model of myocardial infarction induced by isoproterenol (Item No. 15592).{41592} It also increases the pressure threshold and latency to withdrawal in response to mechanical and thermal stimuli, respectively, indicating a decrease in allodynia in a mouse model of spared nerve injury when administered intrathecally at a dose of 30 mg/kg.{41593}

  • 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.

    Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}
