Tie2 Inhibitor 7 blocks Tie2 kinase activity with a Ki value of 1.3 μM.. It has been shown to inhibit angiopoietin 1-induced Tie2 autophosphorylation and downstream signaling with an IC50 value of 0.3 μM. This compound can prevent endothelial cell tube formation and aberrant vessel growth in a rat model of Matrigel-induced choroidal neovascularization.
(S)-Cdc7-IN-18, a potent CDC7 inhibitor, effectively impedes the overactivation of MCM2, a crucial tumor cell marker, induced by huCdc7 overexpression. Consequently, it inhibits the aberrant proliferation of tumor cells. This compound, exhibits promise for cancer disease research [1].
RO5068760 , a substituted hydantoin, is a potent, highly selective, non-adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive MEK1 2 inhibitors. RO5068760 shows significant efficacy in a broad spectrum of tumors with aberrant mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activation. In vitro, RO5068760 demonstrates MEK1 kinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 0.025 μM in a cRaf MEK ERK cascade assay RO5068760 showed superior efficacy in tumors harboring B-RafV600E mutation.
RO4927350 is a potent and highly selective non-ATP-competitive MEK1 2 inhibitor. RO4927350 selectively blocks the MAPK pathway signaling both in vitro and in vivo, which results in significant antitumor efficacy in a broad spectrum of tumor models. RO4927350 inhibits not only ERK1 2 but also MEK1 2 phosphorylation. In cancer cells, high basal levels of phospho-MEK1 2 rather than phospho-ERK1 2 seem to correlate with greater sensitivity to RO4927350. Furthermore, RO4927350 prevents a feedback increase in MEK phosphorylation, which has been observed with other MEK inhibitors. RO4927350 represents a novel therapeutic modality in cancers with aberrant MAPK pathway activation.
4SC-207 is a novel microtubule inhibitor , which shows strong anti-proliferative activity in a large panel of tumor cell lines with an average GI50 of 11 nM. In particular, 4SC-207 is active in multi-drug resistant cell lines, such as HCT-15 and ACHN, suggesting that it is a poor substrate for drug efflux pumps. 4SC-207 inhibits microtubule growth in vitro and in vivo and promotes, in a dose dependent manner, a mitotic delay arrest, followed by apoptosis or aberrant divisions due to chromosome alignment defects and formation of multi-polar spindles. Furthermore, preliminary data from preclinical studies suggest low propensity towards bone marrow toxicities at concentrations that inhibit tumor growth in paclitaxel-resistant xenograft models. 4SC-207 may be a potential anti-cancer agent.
AMG-337 monohydrate is a highly selective small molecule MET inhibitor. Aberrant hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) MET signaling has been implicated in hepatocarcinogenesis, suggesting that MET may serve as an attractive therapeutic target in hepatocellular carcinoma.
