A dual inhibitor of mPGES-1 (IC50 = 3.9 μM ) and 5-LO (IC50 = 4.1 μM); blocks PGE2 and LT synthesis in cell free and intact cell assays

Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1), with cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), synthesizes PGE2, which is directly involved in signaling during inflammation, fever, and pain. 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) initiates the synthesis of leukotrienes (LTs), which are pro-inflammatory mediators. YS-121 is a dual inhibitor of mPGES-1 (IC50 = 3.9 μM){16667} and 5-LO (IC50 = 4.1 μM).{17994} It effectively inhibits PGE2 and LT synthesis in both cell free and intact cell assays. Moreover, YS-121 (1.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) reduced pleural levels of PGE2 and LTB4 while blocking exudate formation and leukocyte infiltration in carrageenan-induced rat pleurisy.{17751} YS-121 has minor effects on COX-1 and COX-2, inhibiting these enzymes 24.8% and 38%, respectively, at 10 μM.{16667}

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 100 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}

  • CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}

    CAY10512 – 50 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
