α-methyl Serotonin is an agonist of serotonin (5-HT) receptors.{47638,47647} It binds selectively to 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, and 5-HT1D receptors over 5-HT1E receptors (Kis = 42, 85, 150, 150, and >10,000 nM, respectively).{47638} It is also selective for 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors over 5-HT2A receptors (EC50s = 2.98, 50.1, and 794 nM, respectively).{47647} α-methyl Serotonin (30 μM) potentiates motor neuron depolarizations induced by NMDA (Item No. 14581) in the presence of the NMDA receptor antagonist memantine (Item No. 14184) in R. pipiens (frog) spinal cord ex vivo.{47648} It also increases dopamine release from rat striatum in vivo in a dose-dependent manner.{47649} α-methyl Serotonin (64 μg/kg) increases systolic blood pressure and transiently increases heart rate in conscious dogs.{47650}

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 50 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}
