Oltipraz is a Nrf2 Inhibitor
Multidrug resistance-associated proteins (Mrps) are ATP-dependent transporters involved in the efflux of a vast number of endogenous and exogenous chemicals. GSH is one of the liver’s main defenses against oxidative stress because of the conjugating, scavenging, and reducing capabilities of this molecule. GSH is essential to cellular defense against...
Ganetespib (STA-9090) is a HSP90 Inhibitor
Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that regulates the posttranslational folding, stability, and function of its protein substrates (client proteins), many of which play critical roles in cell growth, differentiation, and survival. The Hsp90 machinery serves as a biochemical buffer for a number of oncogenic signaling proteins causally implicated in...
ENMD-1198, an Orally Active Tubulin-Binding Agent, Reduces HIF-1α and STAT3 Activity
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most cancer worldwide, with a continuously increasing incidence. HCC represents a hyper vascularized tumor and its progression is closely related to angiogenesis. Hepatocellular carcinoma overexpresses the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The transcription factor HIF-1α also plays a central role in HCC progression...
