NecroIr2 is an Iridium(III) Complex, Can be Used as an Anticancer Agent

Inorganic elements play crucial roles in biomedical processes. Many inorganic elements such as transition metals have anticancer activities. Even though metal complexes are making progress against cancer, cisplatin (CDDP) remains the most widely used first-line chemotherapeutic drug for various cancers. Drug resistance to cisplatin significantly limits its clinical use...

GW806742X, an ATP mimetic, is a Potent MLKL and VEGFR2 Inhibitor

The pseudokinase Mixed Lineage Kinase domain-like (MLKL) is an essential effector protein in the necroptotic cell death pathway downstream of the protein kinase Receptor Interacting Protein Kinase-3 (RIPK3).  RIPK3–mediated phosphorylation of the activation loop in MLKL trips a molecular switch to induce necroptotic cell death. The structure of mouse MLKL...

HS-1371 is a Small Molecule RIP3 Inhibitor

Necroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that usually occurs under apoptosis-deficient conditions. Necroptosis plays an important role in many pathological processes such as ischemia-reperfusion injury and host defense against viral infection. Receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIP3, or RIPK3) is a central player in necroptosis, and its kinase activity...
