MyD88 is an adapter protein that links toll-like receptors (TLRs) and interleukin-1 receptors (IL-1Rs) with downstream signaling molecules. Homodimerization of MyD88 is a critical step in the signaling process and allows the recruitment and activation of the kinase IRAK. MyD88 exists as a homodimer when recruited to activate TLR/IL-receptors (TIR). The inhibitor peptide contains a sequence from the MyD88 TIR homodimerization domain. MyD88 monomer binds to this inhibitor peptide, thereby blocking Myd88 homodimerization. The MyD88 homodimerization inhibitory peptide contains a protein transduction (PTD) sequence (DRQIKIWFQNRRMKWKK) derived from antennapedia which renders the peptide cell permeable. The control peptide consists of only the PTD sequence.

A dopamine precursor used to treat Parkinson’s Disease
L-DOPA is a metabolic precursor of dopamine that is capable of crossing the blood brain barrier. It is produced from L-tyrosine by trysosine hydroxylase and metabolized by catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) . In the brain L-DOPA is converted to dopamine. It is conventionally used to increase dopamine concentrations in the brain as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease and stroke recovery. However L-DOPA has a short half-life and is known to elevate homocysteine concentrations in plasma, which can be neurotoxic and induce oxidative damage.

Peptide to block Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3 kinase activity
Akt is a protein kinase that plays a central role in inhibiting apoptosis through promoting cell survival. Activated Akt functions by phosphorylating downstream targets in survival signaling pathways. TCL1 (a proto-oncogene underlying human T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia) interacts with Akt through an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and functions as an Akt kinase co-activator. This inhibitory peptide interacts with Akt. The peptide binds to the PH domain of Akt and inhibits Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3 kinase activity. The Akt (Isoforms 1, 2, 3) inhibitory peptide also contains a protein transduction (PTD) sequence (DRQIKIWFQNRRMKWKK) derived from antennapedia which renders the peptide cell permeable. The control peptide consists of only the PTD sequence.

Biologically active oxidative derivative of linoleic acid
trans-EKODE-(E)-Ib is a biologically active peroxidation product of linoleic acid that is characterized, structurally, by having a trans carbon-carbon double bond between the 9-keto and 12,13-epoxy groups. It activates an antioxidant response element (ARE) in neuronal cells and induces the expression of ARE-regulated cytoprotective genes like NQO1. This EKODE also stimulates the synthesis of aldosterone and corticosterone in adrenal cells when supplied at 1-5 μM. This effect appears to be mediated by a rise in intracellular calcium.

Sex pheromone in Drosophila
7(Z),11(Z)-Pentacosadiene is a 25-C hydrocarbon that is found in low abundance on cuticles of mature Drosophila females. Depletion of a female-specific elongase (eloF), which leads to an increase in 7(Z),11(Z)-pentacosadiene along with a parallel decrease in 7,11-nonacosadiene, significantly reduces copulation in Drosophila. This raises the possibility that 7(Z),11(Z)-pentacosadiene may act as an anti-aphrodisiac.

An internal standard for the quantification of palmitoleic acid
Palmitoleic acid is an ω-7 monounsaturated fatty acid that is a common constituent of the triglycerides of human adipose tissue. It is found mainly in animal fats, particularly in fish and marine mammals, and is also present in the seeds of plants of the Proteaceae family. In contrast to a diet enriched with oleic acid, palmitoleic acid-based diets raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol much like that of a saturated fatty acid, even when dietary intake of cholesterol is maintained at a low level.

A convenient method for screening human SET7/9 inhibitors
Cayman’s SET7/9 Methyltransferase Inhibitor Screening Assay provides a convenient method for screening human SET7/9 inhibitors. The transfer of the methyl group from SAM by SET7/9 to the acceptor peptide (TAF 10) generates S-adenosylhomocysteine, which is rapidly converted to S-ribosylhomocysteine and adenine by adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase. This rapid conversion prevents the buildup of adenosylhomocysteine and its feedback inhibition on the methylation reaction. Finally, the adenine is converted to hypoxanthine by adenine deaminase, which in turn is converted to urate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The reaction between H2O2 and ADHP (10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine) produces the highly fluorescent compound resorufin. Resorufin fluorescence is analyzed using an excitation wavelength of 530-540 nm and an emission wavelength of 585-595 nm.

A sensitive tool for assaying neutral and acidic sphingomyelinase activity
Cayman’s Sphingomyelinase (SMase) Assay provides a simple, reproducible, and sensitive tool for assaying neutral and acidic sphingomyelinase activity from tissue homogenates, cell lysates, serum, saliva, and urine. The SMase Assay utilizes a coupled enzymatic reaction to monitor SMase activity. SMase hydrolyzes sphingomyelin to yield ceramide and phosphorylcholine. Alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzes phosphorylcholine forming choline. Choline is then oxidized by choline oxidase to yield betaine and H2O2. Finally, H2O2, in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), reacts with 10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine (ADHP) in a 1:1 stoichiometry to generate the highly fluorescent product resorufin. Resorufin fluorescence is analyzed with an excitation wavelength of 530-540 nm and an emission wavelength of 585-595 nm.

Irreversible cysteine protease inhibitor
E-64 is a natural, potent and irreversible inhibitor of cysteine proteases. Its IC50 values for inhibiting cathepsins K, S, and L, in vitro, are 1.4, 4.1, and 2.5 nM, respectively. E-64 also inhibits papain, calpain, and cathepsins B and H, but not serine proteases (e.g., plasmin, trypsin, tissue kallikrein) or aspartic proteases (e.g., pepsin). The mode of action involves the formation of a thioether linkage between E-64 and the thiol group of the protease; E-64 does not react with the functional thiol group of non-protease enzymes (e.g., creatine kinase, L-lactate hydrogenase). While E-64 is usually used in biochemical assays, it can also be used in intact cells at higher (μM) concentrations.

96-Well assay for measurement of ATF2 (Phospho-Thr69,71)
Cayman’s ATF2 (Phospho-Thr69,71) Transcription Factor Assay is a non-radioactive, sensitive method for detecting specific transcription factor DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts. A 96-well enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) replaces the cumbersome radioactive electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). A specific double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) sequence containing the cAMP-response element (CRE) is immobilized onto the wells of a 96-well plate. ATF2 contained in a nuclear extract, binds specifically to the CRE. The activated ATF2 transcription factor complex is detected by addition of a specific primary antibody directed against the phospho-Thr69,71 epitope on ATF2. A secondary antibody conjugated to HRP is added to provide a sensitive colorimetric readout at 450 nm.

Inhibitor of sphingosine N-acyltransferase; mycotoxin; food contaminant
Fumonisin B2 is a mycotoxin originally isolated from F. moniliforme, a prevalent fungus of corn and other grains. Fumonisins cause food poisoning in livestock and humans following the consumption of Fusarium-infested corn. Fumonisin B2, like fumonisin B1 (Catalog No. 62580), structurally resembles sphingosine and, at 1 μM, inhibits sphingosine N-acyltransferase (>90%) in hepatocytes. Fumonisins induce apoptosis via altered sphingolipid metabolism, resulting in hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. It is now known that fumonisins are produced by fungi other than F. moniliforme and occur as contaminants in a wide variety of foods.

A biotinylated spin trap
DEPMPO-biotin is a biotinylated form of DEPMPO which retains the outstanding persistency of its adducts. The biotin moiety offers an effective means for monitoring biodistribution in cells, tissues, and organs when used with an avidin-conjugated reporter. Importantly, DEPMPO-biotin binds free radicals, such as S-nitroso groups, on proteins, producing adducts that can be analyzed via the biotin tag. This direct labeling of S-nitrosothiols (SNO) thus serves as an effective alternative to the more cumbersome biotin-switch method for monitoring SNO formation.

An easy tool for studying HDAC activity modulators in whole cells
Cayman’s HDAC Cell-Based Assay Kit provides an easy tool for studying HDAC activity modulators in whole cells. By using a cell-permeable HDAC substrate, the activity of various protein lysine-specific deacetylases including HDAC1-containing complexes can be measured in intact cells in a simple and homogenous manner. The fluorescence of the deacetylated reaction product can be analyzed using a plate reader or a fluorometer with excitation wavelengths of 340-360 nm and emission wavelengths of 440-465 nm. An HDAC inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA), is included for checking specificity of the HDAC reaction. This assay parallels Cayman’s HDAC Activity Assay Kit (Catalog No. 10011563), which uses a nuclear extract rather than whole cells for the assay. Together, both assays will help to identify whether an inhibitor/activator has a direct effect on the enzyme.

A melatonin receptor agonist and 5-HT antagonist
Agomelatine is a metabolically stable analog of melatonin that displays agonist activity for MT1 and MT2 binding with nanomolar affinity. However, unlike melatonin, agomelatine is a competitive antagonist of human and porcine serotonin (5-HT2C) receptors (pKi = 6.2 and 6.4, respectively) as well as human 5-HT2B receptors (pKi = 6.6). Agomelatine abolishes 5-HT2C agonist effects both in cells and in vivo. It also dose-dependently increases extracellular levels of noradrenaline and dopamine in frontal cortex of freely moving rats.

A histone deacetylase inhibitor
MS-275 is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs) that preferentially inhibits HDAC1 (IC50 = 300 nM) over HDAC3 (IC50 = 8 μM). However, it does not inhibit HDAC8 (IC50 > 100 μM). MS-275 induces cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (p21/CIP1/WAF1), slowing cell growth, differentiation, and tumor development in vivo. Recent studies suggest that MS-275 may be particularly useful as an antineoplastic agent when combined with other drugs, like adriamycin, inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), or inhibitors of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90).

Regulator of TetR and revTetR transcriptional repressors
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. Moreover, anhydrotetracycline poorly binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, compared to Tet, 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.

Immunosuppressant that blocks mTORC1 signaling
Rapamycin is an immunosuppressant that is used primarily to prevent the rejection of organ and bone marrow transplant. It was first described as a potent inhibitor of IL-2 activation of lymphocytes (IC50 = 5 pM). It is now known that rapamycin specifically interacts with the cytosolic FK-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) to form a complex which inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway by directly binding to mTOR Complex 1 (mTORC1). Rapamycin and other inhibitors of mTORC1 signaling show potential in treating cancer, adipogenesis, diabetes, tuberous sclerosis, and cardiovascular disease.

HDAC inhibitor with numerous in vivo applications
Valproic acid is an analog of the natural fatty acid valeric acid. The sodium salt of valproic acid has long been used as an anticonvulsant to prevent many kinds of seizures. It is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), inhibiting Class I HDACs with an IC50 of ~ 2 mM. Valproic acid also inhibits glycogen synthase kinase (GSK3) and depletes cellular inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Because of these actions, valproic acid shows promise in combination therapy for cancer and in treating Alzheimer’s disease. Valproic acid (1 mM) also has pronounced effects on stem cell differentiation and self-renewal.

Inhibitor of sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase
2-Acetyl-5-tetrahydroxybutyl imidazole (THI) is an inhibitor of S1P lyase. Because S1P lyase is primarily expressed in lymphatic tissue, treatment of mice with THI (50 µg/ml in drinking water) increases lymphoid tissue S1P concentrations 100-fold, reducing lymphocyte egress from thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs. The resulting lymphopenia is reversible following cessation of THI treatment. Reducing S1P lyase activity results in therapeutic levels of immunosuppression without the non-lymphoid lesions that result from synthetic S1P receptor agonists.

A tight-binding inhibitor of class I HDACs
Pimelic diphenylamide 106 is a slow, tight-binding inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases (HDACs). Unlike the HDAC inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroamic acid, which has a fast-on/fast-off HDAC binding rate, pimelic diphenylamide 106 progressively binds HDACs and remains bound after wash-out. As a result, the IC50 of pimelic diphenylamide 106 decreases over time. With prolonged preincubation (1-3 hours), pimelic diphenylamide inhibits the class I HDACs (IC50 = 150, 760, 370, and 5,000 nM for HDAC1, 2, 3, and 8, respectively) but not the class II HDACs (IC50 > 180 μM for HDAC4, 5, and 7). Pimelic diphenylamide 106 and related benzamide HDAC inhibitors may have therapeutic value in Friedrich’s ataxia and Huntington’s disease, in part due to their low animal toxicity.

Activator of γδ-T-lymphocytes
(E)-C-HDMAPP is the pyrophosphonate form of (E)-HDMAPP. The pyrophosphonate moiety in (E)-C-HDMAPP is much less susceptible to chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis than its pyrophosphate counterpart. As a result, (E)-C-HDMAPP is much more stable in solution and in vascular circulation. (E)-C-HDMAPP possesses comparable activity to (E)-HDMAPP, which is the most potent of the isoprenoid phosphoantigens. (E)-C-HDMAPP stimulates the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) by γδ-T lymphocytes with an IC50 value of 0.91 nM. (E)-C-HDMAPP also significantly increases the number of circulating γδ-T cells in vivo, in cynomolgus monkeys.
