Osimertinib (AZD9291) is a covalent, orally active, irreversible, and mutant-selective EGFR inhibitor with an apparent IC₅₀ of 12 nM against L858R and 1 nM against L858R/T790M, respectively. Osimertinib overcomes T790M-mediated resistance to EGFR inhibitors in lung cancer.

Resiquimod is a Toll-like receptor 7 and 8 (TLR7/TLR8) agonist that induces the upregulation of cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IFN-α.

Gefitinib (ZD1839) is a potent, selective and orally active EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 33 nM. Gefitinib selectively inhibits EGF-stimulated tumor cell growth (IC₅₀ of 54 nM) and that blocks EGF-stimulated EGFR autophosphorylation in tumor cells. Gefitinib also induces autophagy and cell apoptosis, which can be used for cancer related research, such as Lung cancer and breast cancer .

Afatinib (BIBW 2992) is an orally active, potent and irreversible dual specificity inhibitor of ErbB family (EGFR and HER2), with IC₅₀ values of 0.5 nM, 0.4 nM, 10 nM and 14 nM for EGFR^wt, EGFR^L858R, EGFR^L858R/T790M and HER2, respectively. Afatinib can be used for the research of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and gastric cancer.

Genistein, a soy isoflavone, is a multiple tyrosine kinases (e.g., EGFR) inhibitor which acts as a chemotherapeutic agent against different types of cancer, mainly by altering apoptosis, the cell cycle, and angiogenesis and inhibiting metastasis.

HCV NS5B polymerase-IN-5 is a HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor with an IC₅₀ value of 47.9 μM. HCV NS5B polymerase-IN-5 reduces the production of inorganic pyrophosphate and decreases the nucleoside triphosphate incorporation of HCV NS5B polymerase. HCV NS5B polymerase-IN-5 can be used in studies related to hepatitis C virus infection.

BO-653 is an orally active anti-atherosclerotic antioxidant that exhibits high binding affinity for LDL. BO-653 scavenges linoleic acid peroxyl radicals, inhibits lipid peroxidation during the auto-oxidation of linoleic acid, and potently suppresses LDL oxidation. BO-653 inhibits Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) replication in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC₅₀ of 36.0 μM against the HCV subgenomic replicon in FLR3-1 cells. BO-653 demonstrates significant anti-atherosclerotic effects in various animal models, including the Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit. BO-653 is suitable for use in research related to atherosclerosis and Hepatitis C Virus infection.

Lapatinib (GW572016) is a potent, orally active inhibitor of the ErbB-2 and EGFR tyrosine kinase domains with IC₅₀ values against purified EGFR and ErbB-2 of 10.2 and 9.8 nM, respectively.

Ribavirin (ICN-1229) is an antiviral agent against a broad spectrum of viruses including HCV, HIVl, and RSV. Ribavirin also has anti-orthopoxvirus and anti-variola activities.

U18666A, an intra-cellular cholesterol transport inhibitor, inhibits replication of Ebola virus, dengue virus, and human hepatitis C virus.

Honokiol is a bioactive, biphenolic phytochemical that possesses potent antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, and anticancer activities by targeting a variety of signaling molecules. It inhibits the activation of Akt. Honokiol can readily cross the blood brain barrier.

Myriocin (Thermozymocidin), a fungal metabolite could be isolated from Myriococcum albomyces, Isaria sinclairi and Mycelia sterilia, is a potent inhibitor of serine-palmitoyl-transferase (SPT) and a key enzyme in de novo synthesis of sphingolipids. Myriocin suppresses replication of both the subgenomic HCV-1b replicon and the JFH-1 strain of genotype 2a infectious HCV, with an IC₅₀ of 3.5 μg/mL for inhibiting HCV infection.

Tucatinib (Irbinitinib) is a potent, orally active and selective HER2 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 8 nM.

AG490 (Tyrphostin AG490) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits EGFR, Stat-3 and JAK2/3.

Neratinib (HKI-272) is an orally available, irreversible, highly selective HER2 and EGFR inhibitor with IC₅₀s of 59 nM and 92 nM, respectively.

Artemisinin (Qinghaosu), a sesquiterpene lactone, is an anti-malarial agent isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia annua L. plants. Artemisinin inhibits AKT signaling pathway by decreasing pAKT in a dose-dependent manner. Artemisinin reduces cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, tumorigenesis and metastasis and has neuroprotective effects.

Dacomitinib (PF-00299804) is a specific and irreversible inhibitor of the ERBB family of kinases with IC₅₀s of 6 nM, 45.7 nM and 73.7 nM for EGFR, ERBB2, and ERBB4, respectively.

AG-1478 (Tyrphostin AG-1478) is a selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor with IC₅₀ of 3 nM. AG-1478 has antiviral effects against HCV and encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV).

Alendronate (sodium hydrate) is a farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor with IC₅₀ of 460 nM.

Osimertinib mesylate (AZD9291 mesylate) is a covalent, orally active, irreversible, and mutant-selective EGFR inhibitor with an apparent IC₅₀ of 12 nM against L858R and 1 nM against L858R/T790M. Osimertinib overcomes T790M-mediated resistance to EGFR inhibitors in lung cancer.
