Mouse carboxylesterase 3 (Ces3, also named Ces 1d) mediates triglyceride hydrolysis in white adipose tissue, liberating free fatty acids into circulation.{26465} Although important for basal lipolysis, Ces3 expression can be induced by xenobiotics.{26466,26464} Ces3 activity is significantly elevated during adipocyte differentiation.{26463} WWL113 is a selective inhibitor of Ces3 and the structurally related Ces 1f (IC50 = ~0.1 µM) without significantly affecting several related enzymes.{26463} It significantly reduces basal lipolysis in adipocytes.{26463} More interestingly, WWL113 corrects multiple features of metabolic syndrome in obese-diabetic db/db mice, including changes in weight gain, glucose tolerance, and levels of nonesterified free fatty acids, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and fasted glucose.{26463} It has similar effects in mice with diet-induced obesity.{26463} WWL113 also inhibits the human ortholog of mouse Ces3, hCES1 (IC50 = ~50 nM), which has a similar tissue expression pattern to Ces3.{26464,26463}

  • 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 – 25 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.
