Mitochondrial Metabolism Inducer

Diquat dibromide hydrate is a comprehensive herbicide. Diquat dibromide hydrate increases the production of ROS and triggers mitophagy. Diquat dibromide hydrate generates free radicals such as superoxide anions through redox cycles, which induce oxidative stress. Diquat dibromide hydrate is cytotoxic, reproductive, and neurotoxic. Diquat dibromide hydrate is used in cotton, soybean, and other crops to combat noxious weeds.

FB231 is a Parkin activator. FB231 can induce mild mitochondrial stress, resulting in impaired mitochondrial function and activation of the integrated stress response. FB231 can lower the threshold for mitochondrial toxins to induce PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. FB231 can cause activation of the integrated stress response (ISR) and perturbation to iron-dependent pathways. FB231 can be used for the research of neurological disease, such as Parkinson’s disease.

Mitochondria degrader-1 (example 5) is a potent mitochondria degrader. Mitochondria degrader-1 induces the degradation of the injured mitochondria by the autophagy mechanism. Mitochondria degrader-1 can be used for the research of neurodegenerative disease, cancer, inflammatory disease, age-related disease, metabolic disease, mitochondrial disease or Down's disease.

BRD6897 is a mitochondrial content inducer. BRD6897 does not alter the percent of cytoplasmic area occupied by mitochondria, but instead, induces a striking increase in the electron density of existing mitochondria.

PeS-9 is an Androgen Receptor (AR) degrader that induces androgen receptor degradation PeS-9 induces mitochondrial and ER stress by promoting cytotoxic ROS production, leading to the release of mitochondrial cytochrome C and AIF. PeS-9 subsequently activates caspases-9 and -3, causing DNA fragmentation and apoptotic cell death. PeS-9 has anticancer activity against prostate cancer and exerts in vivo antitumor and antimetastatic activity with minor side effects. PeS-9 can be used for the study of targeting monotherapy against GLUT-1-overexpressing tumors.

Bcl-2-IN-26 is an inhibitor targeting β-tubulin and BCL-2. Bcl-2-IN-26 disrupts the intracellular microtubule network and interferes with cell mitosis, inducing G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Bcl-2-IN-26 suppresses antiapoptotic BCL-2 function via p53 upregulation, thereby triggering mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated ROS production and robust tumor cell apoptosis. Bcl-2-IN-26 can be used in lung cancer research.

Sirtuin modulator 9 (Compound 214) is a sirtuin-modulating compound that may be used to increase lifespan of cells and in diseases related to aging, inflammation and cancer as well as diseases that would benefit from increased mitochondrial activity.
