Gemcitabine monophosphate is a novel HDAC inhibitor with broad-spectrum antitumor activity against solid (IC50: 30 to 300 nM) and hematological malignancies. Gemcitabine monophosphate was found to be a potent inhibitor of HDAC1 and -8 (class I) in vitro.
Gemcitabine-O-Si(di-iso)-O-Mc, a drug-linker conjugate for Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC), exhibits potent antitumor activity. It incorporates Gemcitabine, a pyrimidine nucleoside analog antimetabolite and antineoplastic agent, connected through the ADC linker[1].
DSPE-PEG(2000)-amine is a PEGylated derivative of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE . It has been used in the synthesis of solid lipid and thermosensitive liposomal nanoparticles for the delivery of anticancer agents.1,2,3DSPE-PEG(2000)-amine has also been used in the synthesis of fluorescein isothiocyanate-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles for imaging applications.4It can be conjugated to a variety of functional molecules for improved cellular targeting and uptake of DSPE-PEG(2000)-amine-containing nanoparticles.4,5 1.Sloat, B.R., Sandoval, M.A., Li, D., et al.In vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activities of a gemcitabine derivative carried by nanoparticlesInt.

FF-10502 is a pyrimidine nucleoside antimetabolite and a structural analog of Gemcitabine. This compound effectively inhibits DNA polymerase α and β, demonstrating potent anticancer activity by targeting dormant cells.
PD-321852 is a small-molecule Chk1 inhibitor, which potentiates gemcitabine-induced clonogenic death in a panel of pancreatic cancer cell lines and evaluated the relationship between endpoints associated with Chk1 inhibition and chemosensitization. Gemcitabine chemosensitization by minimally toxic concentrations of PD-321852 ranged from minimal (<3-fold change in survival) in Panc1 cells to >30-fold in MiaPaCa2 cells. PD-321852 inhibited Chk1 in all cell lines as evidenced by stabilization of Cdc25A; in combination with gemcitabine, a synergistic loss of Chk1 protein was observed in the more sensitized cell lines.
Troxacitabine, a DNA polymerase inhibitor, is potentially used for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In comparison with gemcitabine, troxacitabine was equally active against MiaPaCa and was more efficacious against Panc-01.
SL-01 is an oral derivative of gemcitabine. SL-01 inhibited human breast cancer growth through the induction of apoptosis. SL-01 inhibited human cancer growth more potently than gemcitabine.
