Polo-like Kinase (PLK)
Polo-like Kinases (PLKs) are a group of highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinases that play a key role in processes such as cell division and checkpoint regulation of mitosis. In mammals, five PLKs (PLK 1-5) encompass diverse roles in centrosome dynamics, spindle formation, intra S-phase and G2/M checkpoints, and DNA damage response.
PLKs are characterized by their Polo-box domain, which mediates protein interactions. They are additionally controlled by phosphorylation, proteolysis, and transcription, depending on the biological context. PLKs are now recognized to link cell division to developmental processes and to function in differentiated cells.

Scytonemin
0 ImagesScytonemin is a hydrophobic alkaloid pigment that can be isolated from the outer sheath of cyanobacteria. Scytonemin has protective function against short-wave solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can reduce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the formation of DNA damage. Scytonemin also has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities, produces concentration-dependent inhibition (IC50=2.0 μM) of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1)-mediated cdc25C phosphorylation, and plays an important role in regulating the G2/M transition in the cell cycle. It can be used in the research of cancer, acute inflammation and sunscreen cosmetics.

Telocinobufagin
0 ImagesTelocinobufagin (Telobufotoxin; Telocinobufogenin) is an orally active bufadienolide with potential anti-tumor effects. Telocinobufagin exerts its anti-cancer effects on non-small cell carcinoma, osteosarcoma, thyroid cancer, breast cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by inhibiting the STAT3, JAK2/STAT3, LARP1-mTOR, PI3K/Akt/Snail and PLK1 pathways, and can also induce tumor cell apoptosis. Telocinobufagin enhances the Th1 immune response and protects against Salmonella typhimurium infection. Telocinobufagin has a strong cardiac-stimulating effect by inhibiting the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase, and it can promote renal fibrosis. Telocinobufagin demonstrates non-opioid analgesic effects in various acute pain models.

RP-1664
0 ImagesRP-1664 is a selective and orally active PLK4 inhibitor with an IC50 of 3 nM. RP-1664 demonstrates exquisite selectivity over related kinases, including AURKA/B and PLK1. RP-1664 disrupts centriole biogenesis in cancer cells and leads an accumulation of PLK4 and p21 protein. RP-1664 demonstrates increased sensitivity in TRIM37-high-expressing cells or tumors. RP-1664 exhibits anti-tumor activity in breast cancer and neuroblastoma research[1][2].

KHS101 hydrochloride
0 ImagesKHS101 is a blood-brain barrier-penetrant anticancer agent that primarily functions by inhibiting HSPD1 (IC50 = 14.4 μM) and TACC3 across different cellular backgrounds. KHS101 promotes the aggregation of HSPD1 with client proteins, destabilizes TACC3, and reduces the levels of TACC3, Aurora A and PLK1. KHS101 induces autophagy, apoptosis, cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation; it suppresses cancer cell growth, motility, EMT and stemness; it also impairs mitochondrial bioenergetics and glycolysis in glioblastoma cells. KHS101 can be used in research related to glioblastoma multiforme and breast cancer.
