Autophagy Agonist

Ajugol is an orally active iridoid glycoside found in the traditional Chinese medicine Leonurus japonicus. Ajugol is an autophagy activator. Ajugol activates TFEB-mediated autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis. Ajugol also has anti-inflammatory effects. Ajugol has great potential in the research of asthma, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and osteoarthritis.

SKLB-D18 is an orally active ERK1/2/ERK5 inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 38.69 nM and a K_d of 126.9 nM against human ERK1, an IC₅₀ of 40.12 nM and a K_d of 209.8 nM against ERK2, and an IC₅₀ of 59.72 nM and a K_d of 468.2 nM against ERK5. SKLB-D18 inhibits cancer cell proliferation, induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. SKLB-D18 reduces the levels of p-ERK5, p-RSKp90, p-c-Myc and c-Myc, and upregulates the level of p-ERK1/2, thereby inhibiting the ERK1/2/5 pathway in cells. SKLB-D18 increases LC3B-II accumulation, and decreases the levels of p62, p-mTOR and p-p70S6K. SKLB-D18 elevates the levels of ROS, lipid peroxidation and free ferrous ions, reduces the levels of NCOA4 and GPX4, and induces ferritin autophagy-dependent ferroptosis in cancer cells. SKLB-D18 exhibits antitumor activity in a triple-negative breast cancer xenograft mouse model. SKLB-D18 can be used in research related to triple-negative breast cancer.

NCI677397 is a USP24 inhibitor. NCI677397 increases lipid ROS, activates cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis, degrades ABC transporters, GPX4 and DHFR through the autophagy pathway, decreases the level of P-gp and ultimately leads to ferroptosis in drug-resistant cancer cells. NCI677397 can be used for the study of lung caner and brain cancer.

Soybean peptide QRPR is an agonist of Autophagy. Soybean peptide QRPR activates cellular autophagy by upregulating the expression and activity of PIK3, AKT, and mTOR. Soybean peptide QRPR can reduce the inflammatory response.

Autophagy agonist-1 (compound 22) is an Autophagy agonist. Autophagy agonist-1 exhibits significant anticancer activity against HepG2 cells and normal cells with IC₅₀s of 8.8 μM and > 50 μM. Autophagy agonist-1 induces G1/S phase cell cycle arrest and inhibits CDK4 and CyclinD1 expression while upregulating P21. Autophagy agonist-1 promotes the accumulation of autophagosomes and the proteins LC3 and PINK1, enhancing autophagy and mitophagy in HepG2 cells.
