Cat. #:	160762
Tool sub type:	Fluorescent Probe
Application:	Reversible fluorescent probe for monitoring Ag (I) ions

Alternate name:	Thiocoumarin silver sensor 1
Product description:	Silver is widely used in industrial applications due to its conductivity and malleability properties, as well as in medicine as an antibiotic coating and in wound treatment. The high toxicity of silver is crucial for the unique antibacterial properties of this metal, but there is concern about the effect of aquatic silver pollution on the fresh water invertebrates and fish. Traditional instrument methods for measuring silver include CIP-MS, GFAAS and voltammetry. However, these techniques require sample preparation or digestion and complex instruments and trained operators, and they lack the ability to differentiate between metallic silver, precipitated silver salts and complexes and free Ag(I). Here an alternative approach has been developed using a fluorescent sensor that can selectively and reversibly respond to Ag(I) ions in solution.

Selectivity:	Ag(I) ions only

LIMK inhibitor CRT0105950 Small Molecule (Tool Compound)

Key Info

Cat. #:	151832
Sub-type:	Inhibitor
Availability:	Please enquire for quantities and pricing
Application:	The compounds exhibit low uM potency in breast cancer cells showing dose dependent inhibition of phosphorylation of the LIMK substrate cofilin. Treatment of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells with the compounds significantly reduces their ability to invade a matrigel plug in an inverse in vitro invasion assay. Furthermore, the inhibitors effectively reduce fibroblast-led collective invasion in a co-culture organotypic model.

Chk2 inhibitor CCT241533 Small Molecule (Tool Compound)

Key Info

Cat. #:	151833
Sub-type:	Inhibitor
Availability:	Please enquire for quantities and pricing
Application:	CCT241533 blocked CHK2 activity in human tumor cell lines in response to DNA damage, as shown by inhibition of CHK2 autophosphorylation at S516, band shift mobility changes, and HDMX degradation. CCT241533 did not potentiate the cytotoxicity of a selection of genotoxic agents in several cell lines. However, this compound significantly potentiates the cytotoxicity of two structurally distinct PARP inhibitors. Clear induction of the pS516 CHK2 signal was seen with a PARP inhibitor alone, and th…

AKR1C3 inhibitor CRT0036521 Small Molecule (Tool Compound)

Key Info

Cat. #:	151843
Sub-type:	Inhibitor
Availability:	Please enquire for quantities and pricing
Application:	The compounds showed good cellular potency, as measured by inhibition of AKR1C3 metabolism of a known dinitrobenzamide substrate, with a broad rank order between enzymic and cellular activity, but amide analogues were more effective than predicted by the cellular assay. displays potency in a cellular assay, blocking the ability of AKR1C3 to metabolize a proven substrate.

Protein Kinase D inhibitor CRT5 (CRT0066051) Small Molecule (Tool Compound)

Key Info

Cat. #:	152544
Sub-type:	Inhibitor
Availability:	Please enquire for quantities and pricing
Application:	PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COMPOUND IS TOXIC IN VIVO. CRT5 blocks phosphorylation of PKD1 on Ser916 and PKD2 on Ser876, but does not affect PKC-dependent PKD phosphorylation or PKD autophosphorylation.1 It also decreases VEGF-induced endothelial migration, proliferation, and tubulogenesis.

CDK2 inhibitor NU6301 Small Molecule (Tool Compound)

Key Info

Cat. #:	152754
Sub-type:	Inhibitor
Availability:	Please enquire for quantities and pricing
Application:	The prodrug NU6301 rapidly generated NU6102 in vitro in mouse plasma, and tumour NU6102 levels in vivo consistent with activity in vitro. Eight or 12 hourly dosing of 120 mg/kg NU6301 for 10 days was well tolerated in SKUT-1B tumour-bearing mice and inhibited Rb phosphorylation in tumour tissue. Two (8 hourly dosing) and 3 (12 hourly dosing) day tumour growth delay was observed (p=0.04 and p=0.007, respectively) following NU6301 administration. NU6102 selectively inhibited the growth of CDK2 WT (wild type) versus KO MEFs (knockout mouse embryo fibroblasts) (GIââ (concentration required to inhibit cell growth by 50%) 14 ÎźM versus >30 ÎźM), and was more growth-inhibitory in p53 mutant or null versus p53 WT cells (p=0.02), and in Rb (retinoblastoma protein) WT SKUT-1B versus SKUT 1 Rb deficient cells (p=0.01). In SKUT-1B cells NU6102 induced a G2 arrest, inhibition of Rb phosphorylation and cytotoxicity (LCââ 2.6 ÎźM for a 24h exposure).
