p38α is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. It is widely expressed in endothelial, immune, and inflammatory cells and plays a central role in the regulation of proinflammatory cytokine production including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. VX-745 is a potent inhibitor of p38α MAPK (IC50 = 10 nM) with 20-fold selectivity over p38β and 1000-fold selectivity over closely related kinases, ERK1 and JNK1-3.{29195} It blocks IL-1β and TNF-α release in whole blood in vitro with IC50 values of 150 and 180 nM, respectively.{29195} VX-745 has been shown to demonstrate anti-inflammatory efficacy in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis, but was discontinued in clinical trial due to adverse central nervous system effects.{21533}

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 250 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}

  • 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.
