YAP Inhibitor

Verteporfin (CL 318952) is a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy to eliminate the abnormal blood vessels in the eye associated with conditions such as age-related macular degeneration. Verteporfin is a YAP inhibitor which disrupts YAP-TEAD interactions. Verteporfin induces cell apoptosis. Verteporfinis an autophagy inhibitor that blocks autophagy at an early stage by inhibiting autophagosome formation.

AICAR (Acadesine) is an adenosine analog and a AMPK activator. AICAR is also an autophagy, YAP and mitophagy inhibitor. AICAR regulates the glucose and lipid metabolism, and inhibits proinflammatory cytokines and iNOS production. AICAR inhibits autophagy through a mechanism independent of AMPK activity.

Liposomal verteporfin is a liposome-encapsulated form of Verteporfin (HY-B0146). Verteporfin is a photosensitizer used in photodynamic therapy, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon irradiation at 690 nm to mediate photodynamic effects. Liposomal verteporfin can promote the release of Oxaliplatin (HY-17371) from endolysosomes via photochemical internalization (PCI), prolong the drug circulation time and enable sustained release, accumulate the drug in neovascular vessels, and enhance its cytotoxicity in tumor models. Liposomal verteporfin can be used in studies related to neovascular eye diseases and pancreatic cancer^[1][2][3].

GNE-7883 is a pan-TEAD inhibitor that blocks the association of YAP/TAZ with TEAD. GNE-7883 effectively reduces chromatin accessibility at TEAD motifs, inhibits cell proliferation in multiple cell line models, and achieves strong anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. In addition, GNE-7883 effectively overcomes intrinsic and acquired resistance to KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) G12C inhibitors in multiple preclinical models by inhibiting YAP/TAZ activation.

K-975 is a potent, selective and orally active TEAD inhibitor, with a strong inhibitory effect against protein-protein interactions between YAP1/TAZ and TEAD. K-975 covalently binds to Cys359 located in the palmitate-binding pocket of TEAD via an acrylamide structure. K-975 exhibits antitumor activity on malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Thiostrepton is a thiazole antibiotic which selectively inhibits FOXM1. FOXM1 binds to YAP/TEAD complex. YAP/TEAD/FOXM1 complex binding at regulatory regions of genes governing cell cycle may impact cell proliferation.

VT104 is a potent and orally active YAP/TAZ inhibitor. VT104 prevents palmitoylation of endogenous TEAD1 and TEAD3 proteins. VT104 can be used in research of cancer.

Pipecolic acid is an orally bioavailable, blood-brain barrier-permeable metabolite of lysine with antioxidant, inhibitor, and inducer activity. Pipecolic acid modulates the YAP-GPX4 signaling pathway, reduces retinal vascular tube formation, and mitigates ferroptosis. Pipecolic acid potentiates voltage-sensitive Ca²⁺ channel currents and induces neuronal apoptosis. Pipecolic acid can be used for the research of diabetic retinopathy.

VT3989 is an orally active pan-TEAD autopalmitoylation inhibitor that modulates the Hippo signaling pathway. VT3989 directly binds to TEAD transcription factors to block their palmitoylation modification, thereby disrupting the formation of YAP/TAZ-TEAD complexes and inhibiting downstream oncogenic transcriptional activity. VT3989 effectively inhibits the growth of NF2-deficient schwannoma and meningioma cells and reverses the Schwann cell phenotype. In addition, VT3989 exerts a synergistic effect when combined with Osimtinib (HY-15772) in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer models, significantly delaying tumor recurrence and prolonging survival. VT3989 can be used for the research of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, malignant pleural mesothelioma, type 2 neurofibromatosis and related advanced solid tumors.

AICAR phosphate (Acadesine phosphate) is an adenosine analog and a AMPK activator. AICAR phosphate regulates the glucose and lipid metabolism, and inhibits proinflammatory cytokines and iNOS production. AICAR phosphate is also an autophagy, YAP and mitophagy inhibitor.
