Voacangine is an indole alkaloid that has been found in T. citrifolia, V. africana, V. obtusa, and T. iboga with diverse biological activities.{41758,41754} It inhibits the growth of M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M. kansasii with MIC values of 50, >200, and 100 μg/mL, respectively.{41754} Voacangine (0.01-100 μM) dose-dependently reduces membrane currents in HEK293 cells expressing the hERG potassium channel and displaces the hERG ligand dofetilide (Item No. 15045) with a Ki value of 3.9 μM.{41755} Voacangine suppresses agonist-induced activation of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels with IC50 values of 50 and 9 μM for activation induced by the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin (Item No. 92350) and the TRPM8 agonist menthol, respectively.{41756} It also activates TRPA1 channels and stimulates calcium influx (IC50 = 8 μM in HEK293 cells expressing TRPA1), an effect that is blocked by the TRPA1 blocker HC-030031 (Item No. 11923). In vivo, voacangine (2 and 4 μg per egg) inhibits angiogenesis in chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes without apparent cytotoxicity.{41757}

Description

An indole alkaloid with diverse activities; inhibits the growth of M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M. kansasii (MICs = 50, >200, and 100 μg/mL, respectively); dose-dependently reduces membrane current of HEK293 cells expressing hERG at 0.01-100 μM; displaces the hERG ligand dofetilide (Ki = 3.9 μM); suppresses agonist-stimulated activation of TRPV1 and TRPM8 (IC50s = 50 and 9 μM, respectively); activates TRPA1 and stimulates calcium influx (IC50 = 8 μM); inhibits angiogenesis in chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes without apparent cytotoxicity at 2 and 4 μg per egg

  • 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}

  • A potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM; also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H

    (R)-Roscovitine – 10 mg

    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}
