Caspase Agonist

10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) is an orally active unsaturated medium-chain fatty acid with various physiological activities. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid induces ROS-mediated apoptosis in A549 cells. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis in human venous endothelial cells. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid alleviates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by activating the AMPK-α signaling pathway. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid protects against bone loss by inhibiting NF-κB signaling downstream of FFAR4. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid is an antibiotic against many bacteria and fungi, such as Neurospora sitophila, molds and Staphylococcus aureus. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid has longevity-promoting effects in C. elegans. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid prevents osteoarthritis by targeting aspartyl β hydroxylase and inhibiting chondrocyte senescence.

Berubicin (RTA 744) hydrochloride is a Doxorubicin (HY-15142A) analog that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Berubicin hydrochloride inhibits P-gp and MRP1-mediated efflux and suppresses glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Berubicin hydrochloride exerts toxic effects on leukemia cells by activating nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells. Berubicin hydrochloride can be used in the study of tumors related to the nervous system.

WS-384 is a dual LSD1 and DCN1-UBC12 protein-protein interaction inhibitor with oral activity, with IC₅₀ values of 338.79 nM and 14.81 nM, respectively. WS-384 possesses anticancer activity and can cause cell cycle arrest, DNA damage, and induce apoptosis. WS-384 can be used in the research of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Sanazole (AK-2123) is a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer. Sanazole enhances radiation-induced DNA strand breaks. In mouse fibroblast tumors, Sanazole increases nuclear condensation and fragmentation, as well as elevates caspase-3 activity, thereby enhancing radiation-induced apoptosis.

Caspase-3 activator 2 (Compound 2f) is a caspase 3 activator that induces apoptosis and can be used in cancer research. Caspase-3 activator 2 is cytotoxic to HL-60 cells and K562 cells, with IC₅₀ values of 33.52 μM and 76.90 μM respectively.

p38α inhibitor 6 (compound 19) is a p38α inhibitor with the IC₅₀ of 0.68 μM. p38α inhibitor 6 induces cell apoptosis and arrests cell cycle at G0 and G2/M phase. p38α inhibitor 6 decreases the TNF-α concentration as well as increased the expression of tumor suppressor gene p53, Bax/BCL-2 ratio and caspase 3/7.

HTS07944 (HTS07944SC, C3) is a potent modulator of laminin receptor (37 LR). HTS07944 (HTS07944SC, C3) possesses anti-cancer activity in PC-3 cells and activates Caspase 3/7.
