α-Hederin is a triterpenoid saponin that has been found in K. pictus and has diverse biological activities.{51169,51166,51167,51168} It increases spontaneous motoric activity in isolated rat stomach corpus and fundus strips when used at concentrations ranging from 25 to 320 μM.{51169} It is cytotoxic to J82 and T24 human bladder carcinoma, Colon26 murine colon adenocarcinoma, and 3LL Lewis murine lung carcinoma cells (EC50s = 15.5, 16.5, 12.5, and 1.1 μM, respectively).{51166} α-Hederin (7.5 and 15 mg/kg) increases survival time in a 3LL Lewis mouse lung carcinoma model. It reduces acetic acid-induced writhing in mice when administered at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg.{51167} α-Hederin (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) reduces paw edema in a rat model of rheumatoid arthritis induced by Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA). It dose-dependently prevents carbon tetrachloride-induced increases in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, as well as hepatic levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in a mouse model of hepatic injury.{51168} α-Hederin also decreases levels of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2E1 in mouse liver.

  • 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}

  • 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.

  • 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 – 1 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.
