CP681301 is a Potent CDK5 Inhibitor
CDKs (Cyclin-dependent kinases) are serine-threonine kinases first discovered for their role in regulating the cell cycle. They are also involved in regulating transcription, mRNA processing, and the differentiation of nerve cells. CDK5 is one of the Cyclin-dependent kinases. Importantly, CDK5 is an unconventional Cdk that regulates developmental and adult...
Cabozantinib is a potent Multiple Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) Inhibitor
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. Specifically, RTKs are part of a larger family of protein tyrosine kinases. RTKs are key regulators of normal cellular processes. Besides, it plays a key role in the development and progression of...
Aderbasib is a Highly Potent and Orally Active Inhibitor of ADAM10 and ADAM17
ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinases), originally also known as MDC proteins (metalloproteinase/disintegrin/cysteine-rich). And ADAMs belong to the Metzincins superfamily of metalloproteases. Recently, studies have found ADAM genes exist in animals, choanoflagellates, fungi and some groups of green algae. Importantly, ADAMs mediates proteolytic ectodomain release. And the ectodomain shedding is...
Nimotuzumab is a Humanized IgG1 Monoclonal Antibody Targeting EGFR
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane protein. The dimerization of EGFR stimulates the activity of intracellular protein tyrosine kinase. Therefore, several tyrosine (y) residues in the C-terminal domain of EGFR undergo autophosphorylation. These include y992, y1045, y1068, y1148, and y1173, as shown in the adjacent chart....
Vorasidenib (AG-881) is an Orally Available, Brain Penetrant and dual mIDH1/2 Inhibitor
Isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) are homodimeric enzymes. They catalyze the conversion of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. However, mutant IDH1/2 (mIDH1/2) reduces α-KG to the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Inhibition of the mutant IDH (mIDH) protein represents a targeted approach to cancer treatment for...
Lonafarnib is an Orally Active FPTase Inhibitor
Farnesyl transferase (FTase) is a zinc-dependent enzyme, which coordinates a zinc cation on its β subunit at the lip of the active site. FTase has two subunits: a 48kDa α-subunit and a 46kDa β-subunit. And it adds a 15-carbon isoprenoid called a farnesyl group to proteins bearing a CaaX...
A-674563 is an Orally Active and Selective Akt1 Inhibitor
Akt1 belongs to the Akt subfamily of serine/threonine kinases, which contains the SH2 (SRC homologous 2-like) domain. Specifically, Akt kinase is the central node of the signal transduction pathway, which is important for cell transformation and tumor progression. Besides, Akt is a key mediator of growth factor-induced neuronal survival...
