Product Description
Cell permeable, nonsteroidal glucocorticoid receptor modulator with high binding affinity. Exerts anti-inflammatory potential by down-modulating TNF-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression, such as IL-6 and E-selectin. Unlike dexamethasone (Prod. No. ALX-370-002) it does not enhance glucocorticoid response element (GRE)-driven gene expression or induce glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding to GRE-dependent genes in vivo.

Product Description
Inhibitor of G2 DNA damage checkpoint (IC50=8µM) and check point kinases 1 (Chk1) (IC50=3µM) and 2 (Chk2) (IC50=3.5µM) [1,3]. Unlike other checkpoint inhibitors DBH does not inhibit ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) or ATM-Rad3-related protein. Also inhibits MAP kinase kinase 1 (MEK-1) (IC50=881nM) but is not as potent as 10Z-hymenialdisine (Prod. No. ALX-350-289) (IC50=6nM) [2].
