Enzyme Modulators

<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>Histone acetyltransferase inhibitor of p300/CBP; anti-proliferative</p>

<p>Aminopterin is an antineoplastic agent and antifolate, which is a synthetic derivative of pteroylglutamic acid. It functions as a chemotherapeutic agent by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, an enzyme crucial in the folic acid pathway, thereby preventing the conversion of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. This disruption leads to impaired synthesis of purine nucleotides and thymidylate, which are essential for DNA synthesis and cell division.</p>

<p>Fluvastatin is a statin that lowers blood cholesterol and triglycerides by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that plays a critical role in the synthesis of cholesterol. Fluvastatin has also been shown to reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction, and to reduce atherosclerotic lesions in animal models, reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Fluvastatin also has been shown to inhibit the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which may be related to its anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, through lowering blood cholesterol, Fluvastatin also inhibits tubulointerstitial injury and prevents renal damage caused by high concentrations of the lipid.</p>

<p>Apixaban is an anticoagulant agent used for the prophylaxis of stroke and deep vein thrombosis leading to pulmonary embolism. This drug is an inhibitor of factor Xa and prothrominase. As a result, this prevents the formation of a thrombus.</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 folate synthesis; folic acid analogue</p>

<p>A potent and selective c-Met inhibitor. Anti-tumour activity demonstrated in xenograft models in vivo. Forms a thioether conjugate by reacting with thiol groups in proteins. Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) tumour cells that overexpress c-MET have increased sensitivity to AMG458.</p>

<p>H+/K+ ATPase inhibitor</p>

<p>Proteosome inhibitor; pro-apoptotic; has anti-myeloma activity</p>

<p>Phosphodiesterase inhibitor</p>

<p>Cis/trans-form of GK 563 [2351820-19-2]</p>

<p>R-(-)-Arundic acid is a chiral compound, which is a derivative of arundic acid specifically designed for enantiomeric purity. It is sourced through synthetic organic chemistry processes, allowing for precise control over its stereochemistry. The mode of action of R-(-)-Arundic acid involves the inhibition of astrocyte activation by modulating the synthesis of certain cytokines and inflammatory mediators. This mechanism provides a neuroprotective effect, making it a valuable tool in the study of neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase enzyme; antineoplastic</p>

<p>Diacerein is a slow-onset anthraquinone IL-1 inhibitor that is used in the treatment of joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. This drug is also being studied for the treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Diacerein works to decrease inflammation and cartilage destruction by reducing the level of interleukin-1.</p>

<p>Cetilistat is a drug that is used to treat obesity. This drug inhibits the enzyme pancreatic lipase and so it prevents triglycerides from being hydrolyzed into absorbable free fatty acids.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of proteaseγ‐secretase, which allows to modulate of the activity of γ‐secretase substrates Notch, E-cadherin, ErbB4, and amyloid precursor protein (APP). The compound can inhibit the growth of tongue carcinoma cells by arresting cell cycle in G0–G1 phase, modulate the activity of Notch1 receptor and Caspase-3 protease and induce apoptosis. It was also demonstrated that this inhibitor reduces the levels of β-amyloid peptide in the brain of mice model for Alzheimer’s disease. This compound also enhances the neuronal differentiation embryonic cells.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase OGG1 with IC50 of 0.059 μM and excellent specificity over other DNA repair enzymes. OGG1 and its substrate 8-oxoguanine are involved in mutagenesis, genotoxicity, inflammation and cancer. The compound can cause accumulation of 8-oxoguanine in DNA in vitro and is a potent tool for the study of OGG1 biology.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of tyrosinase in melanocytes: skin whitener</p>

<p>Lovastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that is used to lower LDL cholesterol levels and to aid in the management of cardiovascular diseases. Animal studies have demonstrated that this drug has vasculoprotective properties.</p>
