Modulateurs d'enzymes

<p>A specific inhibitor of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) type 1 receptors ALK2 and ALK3 (IC50  &lt; 0.5 µM). Dorsomorphin analog that exclusively targets the BMP but not VEGF signaling. It is able to inhibit the BMP-induced Smad1/5/8 activation but not the p38/MAP kinase signaling or Activin A-induced Smad2 activation.</p>

<p>Carmofur is an antineoplastic agent that is used to treat various cancers such as breast and colorectal cancer. This drug is a derivative of fluorouracil. Carmofur is an inhibitor of the human acid ceramidase, a lysosomal amidase involved in the development of cancer cells.</p>

<p>Sorafenib is a drug that belongs to the class of multikinase inhibitors. It inhibits a number of kinases, including the Mcl-1 protein, which is involved in apoptosis along with blocking picolinic acid (PA), an endogenous metabolite involved in apoptosis signal transduction. Sorafenib also binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the surface of cancer cells, inhibiting the production of proteins that are required for angiogenesis, thus blocking the formation of new blood vessels. Sorafenib may also inhibit P-glycoprotein (Pgp) activity. Overall, these cytotoxic effects give Sorafenib anti-tumor properties, inhibiting angiogenesis and cellular transformation, which are the two main processes of tumor growth and metastasis. Sorafenib tosylate has been shown to be effective against a range of solid tumors such as breast, prostate and lung cancers and is also used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer and renal cell carcinoma. A combination therapy group found that sorafenib was more effective when used with interferon alfa-2b for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Sorafenib also has the potential for drug interactions with other drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of pan-class I PI3K family of lipid kinases; antineoplastic</p>

<p>SIRT1 activator</p>

<p>Inhibits interaction between small GTPase Rab27a and its effector JFC1 (synaptotagmin-like protein1, Slp1). These proteins regulate neutrophil exocytosis, decrease neutrophil infiltration in liver and kidneys and reduce extracellular ROS production by NAPDH oxidase. Thus, nexinhibib20 suppresses systemic inflammation.</p>

<p>Selective inhibitor of the platelet derived growth factor receptor PDGFRβ with IC50 value of 4.2 nM. JNJ 10198409 inhibits the PDGFRβ kinase activity and its downstream signalling leading to anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic effects, which were confirmed in various tumoral cell lines.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of stearoyl-CoA desaturase SCD1 with IC50 of 6.3 nM, as measured in the SCD1-expressing human microsomes.  A 939572 exhibited anticancer activity as it reduced cell proliferation and triggered cell killing in human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells. A 939572 inhibited tumour growth in an in vivo model for gastric carcinoma and reduced the oleic acid:stearic acid ratio in mouse liver and plasma.</p>

<p>Inhibits mTORC1 and mTORC2 serine/threonine kinases</p>

<p>5-Fluoro-1-(tetrahydro-2-furyl)uracil is a chemotherapeutic agent, which is a synthetic derivative of uracil. This compound is developed from modified nucleosides with the aim of enhancing antitumor efficacy. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of thymidylate synthase, leading to a disruption in DNA synthesis. By integrating into RNA and DNA, it ultimately impedes tumor cell proliferation due to RNA processing interference and DNA damage.</p>

<p>Wee1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 5.2 nM</p>

<p>Inhibitor of TGF-α, CTGF, ERK1/2, NF-κB and FasL; anti-inflammatory</p>

<p>Inhibits non-receptor tyrosine kinase BTK; antineoplastic</p>

<p>Dual inhibitor of the adaptor protein 2-associated kinase 1 (AAK1) and BMP2-inducible kinase (BMP2K) with IC50 values of 270 nM and 1 μM, respectively. In a recent study, SGC AAK1 1 stabilised β-catenin, inhibited phosphorylation of the AP2 complex subunit mu protein (AP2M1) and activated Wnt signalling in in vitro experiments._x000D_</p>

<p>Potent and selective inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) with IC50 of 2.4 nM. Its anti-inflammatory activity was examined in a mouse model for acute colitis. The compound protected from intestinal inflammation by prevention of infiltration of CD19+ B-cells into the lamina propria of colonic epithelium and attenuated neutrophil activation. Its broad anti-inflammatory response involved decrease in 24 inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Also, it is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation in pancreatic cancer cell lines.</p>

<p>Hydroxychloroquine is a drug that is used to treat multiple types of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and discoid lupus. It is a prodrug, which is activated in the liver to hydroxychloroquine. It inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide by binding to the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and inhibiting signaling pathways downstream of TLR4 activation. Additionally, Hydroxychloroquine is used to prevent and treat malaria caused by parasitic protozoan from the Plasmodium genus. Furthermore, recent studies revealed that hydroxychloroquine has beneficial effects on COVID-19 patients, as the current evidence shows that hydroxychloroquine inhibits SARS CoV-2 entry in host cells by interfering with endocytosis and affecting the glycoprofile on the spike glycoprotein.</p>

<p>Autophagy activator that acts through targeting the ATP6V1A subunit of vATPase</p>

<p>Short acting monoamine oxidase inhibitor</p>

<p>Cobicistat is an inhibitor of human cytochrome P450 3A enzymes (CYP) with no antiviral activity. Cobicistat is used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection, as an alternative to ritonavir, to increase the half-life of antiviral medications (von Hentig, 2016). Cobicistat acts as a booster by selectively inhibiting the hepatic degradation of the drugs, for example, in the pharmacological regime against HIV-1, which often includes protease inhibitors, such as, darunavir, atazanavir, and lopinavir, or the integrase inhibitor elvitegravir (Deeks, 2014).</p>

<p>Ibandronate is a bisphosphate used in the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. This drug slows down the activity of osteoclasts resulting in a slower process of bone breakdown. This drug also inhibits farnesyl diphosphate and induces apoptosis of hematopoietic tumor cells.</p>
