Lixisenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Lixisenatide inhibits the inflammatory response through down regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and suppresses of the Akt-MEK1/2 signaling pathway. Lixisenatide can inhibit oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. Lixisenatide can be used for the researches of inflammation, metabolic disease, neurological disease and cardiovascular disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis.

Tunlametinib is a highly selective, orally active MEK1/2 inhibitor (IC₅₀=1.9 nM, MEK1). Tunlametinib blocks the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway, arrests tumor cell cycle and promotes apoptosis. Tunlametinib potently inhibits the proliferation of RAS/RAF mutant cancer cells (such as BRAF V600E, KRAS G12C mutant cells). Tunlametinib shows synergistic anti-tumor effects with BRAF/KRASG12C/SHP2 inhibitors, Docetaxel (HY-B0011). Tunlametinib can be used to study targeted therapy for RAS/RAF mutation-driven malignancies (such as melanoma, colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer).
