Deguelin, a Naturally Occurring Rotenoid, Acts as a Chemopreventive Agent
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents more than 5% of all cancers each year. In addition, breast cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases. Approximately 60-70% of breast cancers express estrogen receptors (ER) and/or progesterone receptors (PR). About 20-30% of breast cancers have amplified levels of the...
Bestatin is a Broad-Spectrum, and Competitive Aminopeptidase Inhibitor
Aminopeptidases catalyze the cleavage of amino acids from the amino terminus of protein or peptide substrates. Regarding catalytic mechanism, most of the aminopeptidases are metallo-enzymes. In addition, aminopeptidase is widely present in animal and plant kingdomsis widely present in , found in many subcellular organelles, in cytoplasm, and as...
Repotrectinib is a potent ROS1 and TRK Inhibitor
Repotrectinib is a potent ROS1 (IC50=0.07 nM) and TRK (IC50=0.83/0.05/0.1 nM for TRKA/B/C) inhibitor. The IC50 values are 0.83/0.05/0.1 nM for TRKA/B/C, respectively. Repotrectinib potently inhibits WT ALK (IC50=1.01 nM). Repotrectinib inhibits mutant ALKs. It inhibits ALK G1202R with an IC50 of 1.26 nM. Besides, it inhibits ALK L1196M with an IC50 of 1.08 nM)....
Alda-1 is a potent ALDH2 Agonist
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is ubiquitously found in various tissues, including the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle, and highly expressed in the mitochondria. Many cellular functions show relations with ALDH2. They include detoxification of aldehydes, cell survival, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. The deficiency of ALDH2 causes the accumulation of...
ABT-737 is a Selective and BH3 Mimetic Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w Inhibitor
Bcl-2 protein family is a key regulator of apoptosis and a marker of B-cell lymphoma. Importantly, apoptosis is an important physiological process of selective cell clearance, involving a variety of biological events. Particularly, the Bcl-2 family is the most characteristic protein family involved in regulating apoptotic cell death. It...
Almonertinib is an Orally Active and Irreversible EGFR Inhibitor
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Its lethality ranks the first among many malignant tumors. In addition, the overexpression of the human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporter ABCB1 (P-gp) or ABCG2 (BCRP) in cancer cells often contributes significantly to the development of...
Apitolisib is an Orally Active Class I PI3K and mTORC1/2 Inhibitor
Activation of the pathway occurs following activating point mutations or amplification of the PIK3CA gene encoding the p110a PI3K isoform. Oncogenes such as PI3K, AKT, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) stimulate proliferation, growth, and survival by activating mTOR kinase. The mTOR...
