Description: Antitumor agent; induces apoptosis and inhibits synthesis of heat shock proteins. Inhibits many enzyme systems including tyrosine protein kinase, phospholipase A2, phosphodiesterases, mitochondrial ATPase, PI 3-kinase and protein kinase C. Can also activate Ca2+ and K+ channels and behaves as an agonist at estrogen (GPR30) receptors.   collapse

Description: Biological Activity Endogenous cannabinoid and vanilloid receptor agonist, in water-soluble emulsion (for details see TocrisolveTM 100, Cat. No. 1684). Ki values are 89 and 371 nM for CB1 and CB2 receptors respectively; EC50 values are 18, 31 and 27 nM at GPR55, CB1 and CB2 respectively; pKi = 5.68 for rVR1. Also blocks TNF-α-induced NF-kB activation via direct inhibition of IKK. Also available as the pure oil dissolved in ethanol (Anandamine, Cat. No. 1339). Tocrisolve Control (Cat. No. 1684) also available.   collapse

Description: Biological Activity Originally defined as a selective inhibitor of ATR and ATM kinases. Induces cell death in prematurely senescent breast cancer cells. Decreases p21CIP1 levels in premature senescent MCF-7 and HCT-116 cells; also exhibits antiproliferative activity in a range of cancer cell lines. Blocks camptothecin-induced p53 phosphorylation and protects cells from camptothecin-induced apoptosis.   collapse

Description: Biological Activity Glucocorticoid; anti-inflammatory. Reduces levels of activated NF-κB in immature dendritic cells (DCs) and inhibits differentiation into mature DCs. Induces differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Also induces autophagy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell lines.   collapse
