Enzyme Modulators

<p>Fludarabine triphosphate trisodium is a nucleotide analog, which is a type of chemotherapy agent derived from purine nucleosides. This compound is the active metabolite of fludarabine, sourced from synthetic chemistry designed to mimic naturally occurring nucleotides involved in DNA replication. The mode of action involves its incorporation into the DNA strand during replication, where it effectively inhibits DNA polymerase and ribonucleotide reductase. This disruption impairs DNA synthesis, leading to apoptosis or programmed cell death, particularly in rapidly dividing cancer cells.</p>

<p>MLN 4924 is a selective small molecule that acts as an inhibitor of the Nedd8-activating enzyme. This compound is synthetically derived and functions by inhibiting the conjugation of Nedd8 to cullin proteins. By blocking this pathway, MLN 4924 disrupts the activity of the SCF (Skp, Cullin, F-box containing complex) E3 ubiquitin ligase, leading to an accumulation of proteins that can induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.</p>

<p>N-Desmethyl ibandronate sodium is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 238-240 °C. It has versatile building block, complex compound and research chemicals applications. It is an intermediate used in the synthesis of other compounds, such as speciality chemicals, useful intermediates and useful scaffolds. N-Desmethyl ibandronate sodium can be used in reactions that require high quality and high purity products.</p>

<p>Inhibits tankyrase (TNKS1 and TNKS2 with IC50 values of 11 and 4 nM respectively), by binding to the catalytic poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) domain. This stabilizes cytoplasmic protein Axin, mediating β-catenin depletion and thereby suppresses Wnt signalling pathway. XAV 939 has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on neuroblastoma and colorectal cancer cells.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of dioxygenase IDO1</p>

<p>Pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGFR2, c-MET, RET, KIT); anti-neoplastic</p>

<p>Etoposide is a cytotoxic drug used in cancer chemotherapy. It inhibits DNA replication through inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II, thus catalysing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. <br>Etoposide is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready-to-use products for assay development, screening or other R&amp;D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.</p>

<p>Finasteride is an antiandrogenic drug that belongs to the group of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, which are used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness. The conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is blocked by type II 5α-reductase inhibition, which then results in significant increase in prostatic testosterone concentrations and minimal to moderate increases in serum and tissue DHT concentrations. A reduction in DHT concentration will cause a reduction in prostatic volume as DHT appears to be the main androgen responsible for stimulating prostatic growth.</p>

<p>Rofecoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used to treat osteoarthritis, acute pain and migraine attacks. This drug is also a COX-2 inhibitor. As a result, it reduces inflammation and pain.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of metalloendopeptidase neprilysin</p>

<p>Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase inhibitor</p>

<p>Lestaurtinib is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the JAK, FLT-3 and TrkA families of tyrosine kinases at nanomolar concentrations. It inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in vitro. Lestaurtinib is a FDA approved orphan drug for acute myeloid leukemia.</p>

<p>A potent small-molecule activator of UNC-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1), a serine-threonine kinase involved in autophagy. Promotes cytoprotective autophagy in MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells, via the ULK complex. Improves motor dysfunction and reduces loss of dopaminergic neurons, mediated by MPTP, in in vivo models of Parkinson’s disease.</p>

<p>Rosuvastatin is a drug that belongs to the group of statins. It is used for the treatment of high cholesterol and as an adjunct therapy for patients with coronary heart disease. Rosuvastatin reduces serum cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the production of cholesterol. Furthermore, this drug has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of PDE4 enzyme</p>

<p>Inhibitor of Aurora kinases A, B and C</p>

<p>Selective and potent inhibitor of lysine acetyltransferases KAT6A and KAT6B with IC50 values of 8 nM and 28 nM, respectively. The compound is a reversible competitor of acetyl coenzyme A domain of KAT6A/B enzymes. It inhibits MYST-catalysed histone acetylation and potentiates senescence in vitro and in zebrafish model of hepatocellular carcinoma. The compound opened the door to a new class of cancer therapeutics that could potentially direct the cancer cells in senescence or permanent dormancy.</p>

<p>Oxaprozin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This drug relieves swelling and inflammation by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase which in turn inhibits prostaglandin synthesis.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of AKR1C3 (type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase)</p>

<p>LW-II-41-27 is a novel Eph receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for cancer treatment.</p>
