JNK Activator

3-AP-Me is a dimethyl derivative of the nucleotide reductase inhibitor 3-AP (SML0568). 3-AP-Me can activate the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway by promoting the phosphorylation of eIF2α and increasing the gene expression of transcription factors ATF4 and ATF6, leading to cell apoptosis. Additionally, 3-AP-Me can activate the stress kinases c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases. 3-AP-Me also leads to the upregulation of the spliced mRNA variant XBP1, can be used in cancer research.

CeY-B1 is a ceramide analog. CeY-B1 inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells, induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. CeY-B1 upregulates ASK1, promotes the phosphorylation of JNK, downregulates Bcl‑2, and inhibits the PI3K/AKT pathway. CeY-B1 suppresses tumor growth in cervical cancer xenograft mouse models. CeY-B1 can be used for relevant research on cervical cancer.

Vanillylamine is an immediate precursor for capsaicinoids. Vanillylamine is a derivative of Vanillin (HY-N0098) is synthesized through a transaminase reaction in the phenylpropanoid pathway of capsaicinoid synthesis. Vanillylamine significantly alleviates myelosuppression caused by abdominal and pelvic tumor chemotherapy.

CDKi free base is a CDK inhibitor. CDKi free base induces morphological changes, DNA fragmentation, and cell death in vestibular schwannoma cells. CDKi free base downregulates pRb, EGF-R, PI3K, NF-κB, and Shh levels, while upregulating JNK, ASK1, Caspase 3, and p21, and induces PARP-1 cleavage. CDKi free base can be used in research related to vestibular schwannoma.
