Porcupine (PORCN) is a membrane bound O-acyltransferase that mediates palmitoylation of Wnt family proteins.{27064} This step is required for secretion and biologic activity of Wnt proteins, which have roles in embryonic development and cancer.{27064,27062} Wnt-C59 is a potent inhibitor of PORCN, as measured by prevention of Wnt3A activation (IC50 = 74 pM).{27062} As palmitoylation of Wnt is required for its secretion, Wnt-C59 completely blocks Wnt3A secretion into culture media.{27062} Wnt-C59 prevents activation of all evaluated Wnt family members.{27062} This compound is effective in vivo as well as in vitro. Whether given by intravenous (2.5 mg/kg) or oral administration (5 mg/kg), Wnt-C59 displays a half-life in blood of approximately 1.94 hours, and remains greater than 10-fold above the in vitro IC50 concentration for at least 16 hours after a single oral dose.{27062} It blocks the progression of both basal-like and triple-negative breast cancers while downregulating Wnt/β-catenin pathway target genes in mice.{27062,27063}

  • 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}
