Pan-class I phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor (IC50 = 3, 33, 3 and 75 nM at catalytic subunits p110α, p110β, p110δ and p110γ respectively). Inhibits proliferation in several cancer cell lines, such as glioblastoma, breast and prostate cancer cells. Has synergistic anti-cancer effect in combination with MEK/ERK kinase inhibitor GDC-0973 (cobimetinib).

Dabigatran is an anticoagulant that is used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and prevention of venous thromboembolic events. It is a drug that acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme thrombin. Dabigatran inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, which reduces the risk of stroke or other vascular events. Dabigatran is a prodrug and does not have any activity in its active form.

Sulbactam is a synthetic antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Sulbactam is a potent inhibitor of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The combination of sulbactam and polymyxin B has been shown to have synergistic inhibitory effects on Gram-negative bacteria and is used as an intravenous antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria.

Inhibitor of β-lactamase enzymes

Rensocatib is a reversible inhibitor of DPP-1, also known as cathepsin C, which is a peptidase involved in the activation of neutrophil, an elastase-like serine protease in lung tissue. Brensocatib is an oral drug used to treat infections of the airways (lungs) that are characterised by a permanent enlargement and presenting symptoms such as, coughing and greater mucus production (bronchiectasis). Alternative names of brensocatib are INS-1007 and AZD7986.

Inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase that disrupts histone methylation by EZH2. Anti-proliferative in some breast cancer and invasive prostate cancer cell lines. One of four key molecules required for inducing chemical reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).

PI3K enzyme inhibitor; antineoplastic

A selective inhibitor of PI3Kα. Inhibits cancer cell proliferation by blocking the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Anti-tumor effect of BYL 719 has been demonstrated in models of tumors with PI3KCA mutation and amplification in vivo. BYL 719 also suppresses tumor growth in pre-clinical models of osteosarcoma.

Dual IGF-1R and InsR kinase inhibitor; antineoplastic

novel tricyclic indole; promising new treatment for a variety of diseases

Mevastatin is a drug that inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol and has been used to treat hypercholesterolemia. It binds to the hydroxyl group at position 3 on the mevalonate molecule, which prevents the formation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) and consequently reduces the production of cholesterol. Mevastatin has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial functions in wild-type strain yeast cells and myeloma cell lines, which may be due to receptor activity.

Potent inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 9 (PDE9), tested in human and murine in vitro assays (IC50 values: 55 nM and 100 nM, respectively). BAY 73-6691 induces long-term potentiation and improves memory in rodents. BAY 73-6691 has been studied as a potential therapy for Alzheimer’s disease.

MAP kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor. Binds to MEK-1, preventing phosphorylation and activation by Raf or MEK kinase. PD 098059 enhances self-renewal in stem cells. Has anti-growth and anti-proliferative effects on AML cells. Anti-apoptotic effect on AML cells observed in synergy with Nutlin-3a.

Potently inhibits PARP-1 and PARP-2 enzymes, orally bioavailable and crosses blood-brain barrier. Sensitises cancer cells to DNA-damaging chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Combination therapies investigated in clinical trials for solid and blood malignancies.

Cilastatin is a renal dehydropeptidase inhibitor drug that is used to prevent degradation of imipenem. It is used to treat a variety of infections in combination with imipenem. This drug blocks the mechanism of imipenem which is hydrolyzed by dehydropeptidase-I.

A potent, reversible and slow-binding inhibitor of delta-5 desaturases (D5Ds), by binding to the desaturase domain. Inhibiting D5D has therapeutic applications in inflammatory diseases. This is due to the increase in anti-inflammatory DGLA-derived eicosanoids and decrease in pro-inflammatory AA-derived eicosanoids.

Sildenafil is a potent inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), consequently preventing the degradation of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells of the pulmonary vasculature and penis. For this reason Sildenafil can be used to increase blood flow, decrease inflammation and mucus production in the lungs and also can be used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. This is largely due to the increased availability of cGMP which can cause the relaxation of the smooth muscles to be prolonged.
