BNS-22 is a DNA Topoisomerase II Catalytic Inhibitor

Topoisomerases (DNA topoisomerases) are enzymes that catalyze changes in the topological state of DNA, regulating the overwinding or underwinding of DNA. Topoisomerases play essential roles in DNA replication, transcription, chromosome segregation, and recombination. The winding problem of DNA arises due to the intertwined nature of its double-helical structure. All...

Vatalanib (PTK787) is an Inhibitor of VEGFR2/KDR

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) is the receptor for VEGF. VEGF is an important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. VEGFRs consist of three subtypes, the fms-like tyrosine kinase Flt-1 (VEGFR1/Flt-1), the kinase domain region, also referred to as fetal liver kinase (VEGFR2/KDR/Flk-1), and Flt-4 (VEGFR3)....
