Caspase 3 Modulator

Fezakinumab (ILV 094) is an anti-IL-22 monoclonal antibody. Fezakinumab inhibits IL-22 signal transduction, and regulates the JAK1/STAT3 pathway as well as apoptotic proteins. Fezakinumab alleviates airway remodeling, alveolar enlargement and inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissues. Fezakinumab reduces the levels of neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and macrophages in lung tissues. Fezakinumab can be used in the research of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and skin diseases.

Brevetoxin B (Brevetoxin-2) is a red tide toxin. Brevetoxin B affects sodium, potassium and calcium currents in nerve terminals. Brevetoxin B also modulates the metabolic activity of Jurkat cells, reduces cell viability and induces apoptosis. Brevetoxin B can be used in research on synaptic transmission and tumors.

CDK6-IN-2 is a CDK6 covalent inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 0.013 μM. CDK6-IN-2 inhibits the proliferation and migration of triple-negative breast cancer cells, and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. CDK6-IN-2 induces ROS accumulation and mitochondrial damage through cellular metabolic reprogramming. CDK6-IN-2 exhibits anti-tumor activity and can be used for the research of triple-negative breast cancer.

LSD1-IN-26 (compound 12u) is a potent LSD1 inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 25.3 nM. LSD1-IN-26 also inhibits MAO-A (IC₅₀=1234.57 nM) and MAO-B (IC₅₀=3819.27 nM). LSD1-IN-26 significantly induces apoptosis in MGC-803 cells. LSD1-IN-26 can be used for gastric cancer research.

INH2BP is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor with antioxidant and anti-apoptotic activities. INH2BP reduces the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), modulates the expression of apoptosis-related proteins such as Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 and enhances cell survival through the activation of the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways. INH2BP is promising for research of cardiovascular diseases.

WCF-598 is a RXRγ (Kd: 234.2 nM) PROTAC degrader. WCF-598 induces RXRγ degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and binds directly to RXRγ. WCF-598 indirectly induces AR-V7 degradation, impairs the stability of the RXRγ-AR-V7 complex, downregulates AR-V7 levels, and inhibits the transcription of downstream target genes of AR-V7. WCF-598 induces tumor cell apoptosis, inhibits cell proliferation, activates the p53 signaling pathway, and suppresses cell cycle progression. WCF-598 can be used for the research of prostate cancer.

MD-265 is a PROTAC degrader targeting MDM2, which activates p53 in cancer cells carrying wild-type p53. MD-265 induces MDM2 degradation by recruiting the CRL4-CRBN ligase complex via the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation pathway. MD-265 upregulates p53 target genes, induces apoptosis, reduces Mcl-1 levels, increases caspase-3 cleavage, and inhibits colony formation of wild-type p53 leukemia stem cells. MD-265 can be used in research related to leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.

28-Deoxonimbolide is a Nimbin (HY-N3187) type limonoid, that can be isolated from Azadirachta indica seed extracts. 28-Deoxonimbolide shows anticancer activity. 28-Deoxonimbolide induces apoptotic cell death in HL60 cells via both the mitochondrial- and the death receptor-mediated pathways.

Anticancer agent 63 (compound 3h) shows active in reducing the viability of different cancer cell lines, including SW480, HeLa, A549 and MCF-7, with IC₅₀ values at 24 h of 4.9, 11.5, 9.4, and 3.4 μM, respectively. Anticancer agent 63 induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells via down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of IL-2 and Caspase-3. Anticancer agent 63 also shows antioxidant activity.
