Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH)

Aldehyde Dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are a superfamily of NADP+-dependent enzymes that metabolize endogenous and exogenous aldehydes to corresponding carboxylic acids. This superfamily of proteins is comprised of 19 isozymes, with constitutive activity of at least one isozyme observed in a majority of mammalian tissues. The ALDHs play important roles, among other things, in cellular detoxification, the protection against ultraviolet radiation-induced damage, and amino acid metabolism.

The ALDH1A subfamily plays a pivotal role in embryogenesis and development by mediating retinoic acid signaling. ALDH2, as a key enzyme that oxidizes acetaldehyde, is crucial for alcohol metabolism. ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1 are lens and corneal crystallins, which are essential elements of the cellular defense mechanism against ultraviolet radiation-induced damage in ocular tissues. Many ALDH isozymes are important in oxidizing reactive aldehydes derived from lipid peroxidation and thereby help maintain cellular homeostasis. Increased expression and activity of ALDH isozymes have been reported in various human cancers and are associated with cancer relapse. As a direct consequence of their significant physiological and toxicological roles, inhibitors of the ALDH enzymes have been developed to treat human diseases.

    ALDH3A1-IN-4
    Inhibitor
    ALDH3A1-IN-4 is a selective ALDH3A1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.2 μM. ALDH3A1-IN-4 binds to the aldehyde-binding pocket of ALDH3A1 via hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces. ALDH3A1-IN-4 acts as a chemosensitizer that sensitizes ALDH3A1-expressing cancer cells to the antiproliferative effect of mafosfamide, but does not produce a sensitizing effect on non-cancer cells that do not express ALDH3A1. ALDH3A1-IN-4 is applicable to research related to lung adenocarcinoma and glioblastoma.

    Cyanamide-15N2
    Inhibitor
    Cyanamide-15N2 is the 15N-labeled Cyanamide (HY-Y0070). Cyanamide is a cell division and plant growth inhibitor, as well as an allelochemical derived from Vicia villosa. Cyanamide inhibits root growth and biomass accumulation in a dose-dependent manner by disrupting the formation of mitotic spindles and phragmoplast complexes, reducing the number of mitotic cells and blocking the cell cycle. The effects of Cyanamide are partially reversible after removal from low-concentration environments. Cyanamide is also a specific inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Although Cyanamide has no direct effect on tumor growth, it can significantly enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of Cyclophosphamide (HY-17420) at non-toxic doses by inhibiting the inactivation of Cyclophosphamide. Cyanamide enables Cyclophosphamide to exert equivalent therapeutic effects at lower doses, effectively inhibiting the growth of primary and metastatic tumors and prolonging the lifespan of tumor-bearing mice. Cyanamide is commonly used in studies related to ha-1 hepatoma and rls lymphosarcoma.
