Inhibitor of histone deacetylases

ATP-competitive inhibitor of Met and VEGFR2

Thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor

This peptide is phosphorylated by Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and is an ideal substrate for use in kinase assays. The JAK family of kinases is essential for the signalling of a host of immune modulators in tumour, stromal, and immune cells where they are highly expressed. JAK family proteins mediate the signalling of the interferon (IFN), IL-6, and IL-2 families of cytokines.JAK kinases are associated with cytokine receptors. Cytokine binding to these receptors results in activation of JAK kinases and receptor phosphorylation. Phosphorylated cytokine receptors recruit STAT proteins, which are then phosphorylated by the activated JAK kinases. Phosphorylated STAT proteins form homo- and hetero-dimers that translocate into the nucleus and function as transcription factors.

Abiraterone is an anti-cancer drug that has been shown to be effective in treating prostate cancer. It works by blocking the production of testosterone by inhibiting androgen synthesis. Abiraterone does this by inhibiting CYP17A1, which converts cholesterol into pregnenolone, and then into progesterone and testosterone. Furthermore, it binds to the enzyme steroid 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Abiraterone is usually a last resort for patients who have stopped responding to other lines of hormone therapies, which is known as second-line therapy.

Inhibits proteosomes of class peptide epoxyketone; antineoplastic

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor

Amino acids 651-660 of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). PARP1 is a nuclear DNA repair enzyme that binds to DNA when damage is detected. PARP1 coordinates double and single strand break repair by first cleaving NAD+ into nicotinamide and ADP-ribose, and then synthesising poly-(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains from ADP-ribose on target proteins (PARylation). PARylation of histone proteins mediates the relaxation of the chromatin and recruitment of DNA-break repair enzymes.PARP1 can also act as a transcriptional co-activator, modulating the expression of itself and many other genes by direct binding to or PARylation of enhancers and promoters. PARP1 is also involved in maintaining mtDNA.PARP1 belongs to the PARP family which has 7 known and 10 putative members. PARP1 accounts for >85% of the PARP activity in cellular systems.
