Huntington's Disease Research

Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive decline and motor dysfunction. It is a genetic disorder which results in the production of mutant huntingtin protein (mHtt). This protein aggregates in the cell cytoplasm and nucleus, affecting cellular function.

Cat.No. Product Name Information/Activity
BCC3676 Torin 1 Torin 1 is a potent inhibitor of mTOR with an IC50 of 3 nM. Torin 1 inhibits both mTORC1/2 complexes with IC50 values between 2 and 10 nM. Torin 1 is an effective inducer of autophagy.
BCC7699 Tunicamycin Tunicamycin is a mixture of homologous nucleoside antibiotic that inhibits N-linked glycosylation and blocks GlcNAc phosphotransferase (GPT). Tunicamycin causes accumulation of unfolded proteins in cell endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and induces ER stress, and causes blocking of DNA synthesis and cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. Tunicamycin inhibits gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and viruses and has anti-cancer activity.
BCC2156 Valproic acid sodium salt (Sodium valproate) Valproic acid sodium salt (Sodium Valproate) is an HDAC inhibitor, with IC50 in the range of 0.5 and 2 mM, also inhibits HDAC1 (IC50, 400 μM), and induces proteasomal degradation of HDAC2. Valproic acid sodium salt activates Notch1 signaling and inhibits proliferation in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. Valproic acid sodium salt is used in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and prevention of migraine headaches.
BCC4747 Verapamil HCl Verapamil hydrochloride ((±)-Verapamil hydrochloride) is a calcium channel antagonist.
BCC2350 Acetyl-Calpastatin (184-210) (human) Selective calpain inhibitor
BCC2351 Calpeptin Calpeptin is a potent, cell penetrating calpain inhibitor, with an ID50 of 40 nM for Calpain I in human platelets. Calpeptin is also an inhibitor of cathepsin K.
BCC1222 E-64 E-64 (Proteinase inhibitor E 64) is a potent irreversible inhibitor against general cysteine proteases with IC50 of 9 nM for papain.
BCC2352 MDL 28170 MDL-28170 (Calpain Inhibitor III) is a potent, selective and membrane-permeable cysteine protease inhibitor of calpain that rapidly penetrates the blood-brain barrier following systemic administration. MDL-28170 also block γ-secretase.
BCC1233 Calpain Inhibitor I, ALLN MG-101 is a potent inhibitor of cysteine proteases which inhibits calpain I, calpain II, cathepsin B and cathepsin L with Kis of 190, 220, 150 and 500 pM, respectively.
BCC1227 MG-132 MG-132 (Z-Leu-leu-leu-al) is a potent proteasome and calpain inhibitor with IC50s of 100 nM and 1.2 μM, respectively. MG-132 effectively blocks the proteolytic activity of the 26S proteasome complex. MG-132, a peptide aldehyde, also is an autophagy activator. MG-132 also induces apoptosis.
