Apoptosis

Z-VAD is an irreversible pan-caspase inhibitor, suppressing multiple caspases including caspase-3, -6, -7, -8, and -9. Z-VAD induces autophagy in tumour cells.

CP-4126, a lipophilic pro-drug of Gemcitabine, converts to active form by esterases, allowing oral administration with dose-dependent effects.

CTB (Cholera Toxin B subunit) is an activator of p300 histone acetyltransferase and induces apoptosis in MCF-7 cells.

Anti-TNBC agent-2 (3j), a purine derivative, acts as an anti-triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) therapeutic.

CHMFL-48, an orally active inhibitor of BCR-ABL kinase, demonstrates efficacy against both the wild-type (wt) and various imatinib-resistant mutants. It exhibits potent inhibitory activity, with IC 50 values of 1 nM for the ABL wild-type and 0.8 nM for the ABL T315I mutant. CHMFL-48 operates by inhibiting the autophosphorylation of both wild-type and mutant BCR-ABL, affecting downstream signaling mediators including STAT5 and CRKL. This disruption leads to cell cycle arrest and triggers apoptosis. Given its properties, CHMFL-48 is a promising candidate for research on chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

ZSQ836 is a dual covalent inhibitor of CDK12/CDK13 with oral bioactivity, displaying an EC50 value of 32 nM against CDK12. This compound can induce cell apoptosis (apoptosis) and demonstrates in vivo anticancer properties. ZSQ836 is applicable for research in ovarian cancer.

Cyy-272 is an orally active JNK inhibitor with IC50 values of 1.25, 1.07, and 1.24 μM against JNK1, JNK2, and JNK3, respectively. It exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the phosphorylation of JNK, thereby alleviating acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Moreover, Cyy-272 significantly reduces inflammation in cardiomyocytes and cardiac tissues caused by high lipid concentrations, further mitigating resultant cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and apoptosis. Cyy-272 is utilized in the study of obesity-related myocarditis.

SMIP34 is an inhibitor of PELP1 that demonstrates the capability to reduce cell viability and colony formation. Additionally, SMIP34 induces cell apoptosis (apoptosis) and causes cell cycle arrest in the S phase. It reduces the expression of PELP1 and exhibits anti-tumor activity. SMIP34 also has potential for research in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

DETD-35 is a promising chemical compound in anti-melanoma therapy, functioning as an inhibitor of the MEK-ERK, Akt, and STAT3 signaling pathways. It enhances cancer cell apoptosis (Apoptosis) and diminishes resistance to Vemurafenib in cancer cells. The compound exhibits IC 50 values of 2.7, 6.0, 3.9, 3.1, and 2.5 μM against melanoma cell lines B16-F10, MeWo, SK-MEL-2, A2058c, and A375c, respectively. DETD-35 offers significant potential for advancing research in melanoma treatment strategies.

IHMT-MST1-39 is an orally effective MST kinase inhibitor with IC50 values of 42 nM for MST1 and 109 nM for MST2. It activates the AMPK signaling pathway in hepatocytes and inhibits apoptosis in pancreatic β cells. Additionally, IHMT-MST1-39 improves type 1 diabetes in mice induced by Streptozotocin.
