Lipoxygenase
LOX
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a family of enzymes that are responsible for the metabolism of arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid and for the formation of several eicosanoids and docosanoids, including leukotrienes, lipoxins and neuroprotectins. Depending on cells' redox state and other milieu conditions, these enzymes are engaged in oxidative stress and cell death mechanisms or in cell protection. Lipoxygenases are lipid peroxidizing enzymes, implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and hyperproliferative diseases, which represent potential targets for pharmacological intervention.
Lipoxygenases are classified on the basis of site of arachidonate oxygenation into 5-, 8-, 9-, 11-, 12- and 15-LOX. The prominent animal LOXs are 5-LOX, 8-LOX, 12-LOX and 15-LOX, while the plant LOXs are mostly 5-LOX and 15-LOX. Among these, 5-LOX is the most predominant isoform associated with the formation of 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HpETE) and other bioactive lipid mediators.

GPX4-IN-19
0 ImagesGPX4-IN-19 is an effective GPX4 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.311 μM), covalently binds to the Sec 46 site of GPX4. GPX4-IN-19 shows strong anti-proliferative activity with high ferroptosis selectivity. GPX4-IN-19 causes intracellular Fe2+ accumulation, leading to increased levels of lipid peroxides (LPOs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induces ferroptosis and subsequently results in DNA damage. GPX4-IN-19 can be used for the study of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC).

Umbelliprenin
0 ImagesUmbelliprenin, a prenylated coumarin, is an antioxidant with anticancer, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Umbelliprenin inhibits lipoxygenase managing the inflammation pathways. In inflammatory macrophages, Umbelliprenin suppresses nitric oxide production as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (NO synthase).
