MC0704 is a STAT3 Inhibitor for Triple-negative Breast Cancer Research
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the main causes of cancer-associated death in women. And, BC is high recurrence and/or metastatic potential. BC is typically categorized into respective subtypes based on the presence of representative receptors (the human epidermal growth factor receptor, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor). Hence, these...
MS8815 is a EZH2 PROTAC Degrader for Targeting Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). EZH2 drives oncogenesis not only in a canonical H3K27me3-dependent manner but also through non-canonical H3K27me3-independent functions. It exhibits overexpression in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, EZH2 catalytic inhibitors are ineffective in suppressing the...
Tigatuzumab (CS-1008) is a Humanized Death Receptor 5 (DR5) IgG1 mAb
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of the TNF superfamily of cytokines, is a type 2 membrane protein expressed in the majority of normal tissues. TRAIL can undergo protease cleavage, resulting in a soluble form able to bind to TRAIL death receptors (DRs). Moreover, TRAIL induces apoptosis...
CYD-4-61 is a Bax Activator Used for Breast Cancer Research
Bax is an apoptosis regulator, belonging to the Bcl-2-like protein family. It controls mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. Bax can promote apoptosis by forming a heterodimer with Bcl-2 to become a lethal mitochondrial pore protein. Specifically, it can induce mitochondrial outer membrane permeability, release cytochrome c, and cause programmed death...
STX-0119 is a Selective, Orally Active STAT3 Dimerization Inhibitor
STAT3 protein is a potential cytoplasmic transcription factor. Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is related to the proliferation, survival, invasion, and angiogenesis of many human cancer cells. Specifically, it transmits signals of cytokines and growth factors from the cell membrane to the nucleus...
β-Amanitin is a cyclic peptide toxin, inhibits eukaryotic RNA polymerase II and III and protein synthesis.
β-Amanitin is a cyclic peptide toxin in the poisonous Amanita phalloides mushroom. Besides, β-Amanitin inhibits eukaryotic RNA polymerase II and III. It inhibits DNA transcription and protein synthesis. Moreover, β-Amanitin can be used as a cytotoxic component of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). β-Amanitin (0.01-100 µg/mL; 36 hours) shows toxicity in...
Capivasertib (AZD5363) is an Orally Active pan-AKT Kinase Inhibitor
Akt/PKB (Protein kinase B), usually called Akt, is a serine/threonine protein kinase with antiapoptotic activity. In addition, Akt consists of three isoforms: PKBα/Akt1, PKBβ/Akt2 and PKBγ/Akt3. Catalytically active Akt regulates the function of numerous substrates involved in cell survival, growth, proliferation, metabolism and protein synthesis. Akt possesses a protein...
