Dichloroacetate, a specific inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) with IC50 values of 183 and 80 μM for PDK2 and PDK4 respectively, has been shown to derepress a mitochondrial potassium-ion channel axis, trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, and inhibit tumor growth.
4-Chloro-α-cyanocinnamic acid (α-CHCA) is a classic monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) inhibitor. α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate (CHC) has a 10-fold selectivity for MCT1 compared to other MCTs.
Derazantinib(ARQ-087) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) with IC50 values of 1.8 nM for FGFR2, and 4.5 nM for FGFR1 and 3, showing lower potency for FGFR4 (IC50=34 nM). It also inhibits RET, DDR2, PDGFRβ, VEGFR and KIT.
HDM201 is a novel, highly potent and selective inhibitor of the p53-Mdm2 interaction with affinity constant for Mdm2 in the picomolar range and a selectivity ratio greater than 10000-fold vs Mdm4.
C188-9 is a potent inhibitor of STAT3 that binds to STAT3 with high affinity (KD=4.7±0.4 nM). C188-9 is well tolerated in mice, shows good oral bioavailability, and is concentrated in tumors.
NGP 555 is a small-molecule modulator of γ-secretase and has been successful in achieving good oral absorption, brain penetration, CNS activity, and specificity for a lipid-based membrane target preclinically.
S 38093 is a histamine H3 antagonist/inverse agonist with a moderate affinity for rat, mouse and human H3 receptors (Ki = 8.8, 1.44 and 1.2 μM, respectively) and no affinity for other histaminergic receptors.
LYN-1604 is a potential ULK1 agonist with IC50 of 1.66 μM against MDA-MB-231 cells and it binds to wild-type ULK1 with a binding affinity in the nanomole range (Kd=291.4 nM). The ULK1 (Y89A) mutant protein caused a sharp decrease in binding affinity with lower response and Kd than wild-type ULK1, ULK1 (K50A) and ULK1 (L53A) mutants.
Autophinib is a potent autophagy inhibitor with a novel chemotype with IC50 values of 90 and 40 nM for autophagy in starvation induced autophagy assay and rapamycin induced autophagy assay. The IC50 value for Vps34 is 19 nM in vitro.
Tat-beclin 1 (Tat-BECN1), a peptide known to stimulate autophagy through mobilization of endogenous Beclin 1, induces autophagy in vitro and in vivo and improves clinical outcomes.
Tirofiban Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of tirofiban, a selective platelet GPIIb/IIIa antagonist which inhibits platelet aggregation. It is more soluable than Tirofiban.
