Malformin C is a natural fungus-derived bicyclic pentapeptide that has antibacterial properties, particularly against species of Bacillus. Malformin C potently blocks the ability of bleomycin to induce G2 arrest in human T-cell leukemia-derived Jurkat cells (IC50 = 0.9 nM). It less potently abrogates colchicine-induced M phase arrest in Jurkat cells (IC50 = 24 nM). Malformin C inhibits cell growth dose-dependently in Colon 38 and HCT 115 cancer cells (IC50s = 0.27 and 0.18 μM, respectively) but has a low therapeutic index against cancer xenografts when tested in mice.
CBP-93872 is a G2 checkpoint inhibitor. CBP-93872 specifically abrogates the DNA double-stranded break (DSB)-induced G2 checkpoint through inhibiting maintenance. CBP-93872 is an inhibitor of maintenance of the DSB-specific G2 checkpoint and thus might be a strong candidate as the basis for a drug that specifically sensitizes p53-mutated cancer cells to DSB-inducing DNA damage therapy.
AEW541, also known as NVP-AEW541, is a novel, potent IGF-IR kinase inhibitor. NVP-AEW541 is capable of distinguishing between the IGF-IR (IC50 = 0.086 microM) and the closely related InsR (IC50 = 2.3 microM) in cells. NVP- AEW541 abrogates IGF-I-mediated survival and colony formation in soft agar at concentrations that are consistent with inhibition of IGF-IR autophosphorylation. Note: AEW541 has a Cis-configuration on the cyclobutane ring. Its CAS# is 475489-16-8. Many vendors and Sc-finder scholar made mistake - AEW541 was mistakenly listed as CAS#475488-34-7, the trans-isomer of AEW541. The correct structure of AEW541 can be confirmed from Joel Slade, et al (from Novartis), Org. Process Res. Dev. 2007, 11, 5, 825–835.
Taminadenant, also known as PBF-509 and NIR-178, is a potent and orally active adenosine A2A receptor antagonist with potential antineoplastic activity. PBF-509 selectively binds to and inhibits A2AR expressed on T lymphocytes. This abrogates the adenosine A2AR-mediated inhibition of T-lymphocytes and activates a T-cell-mediated immune response against tumor cells, thereby reducing proliferation of susceptible tumor cells. A2AR, a G protein-coupled receptor, is highly expressed on the cell surfaces of T-cells and, upon activation by adenosine, inhibits their proliferation and activation. Adenosine is often produced in excess by cancer cells.
CM-118 is a potent and selective dual inhibitor of c-Met and ALK which potently abrogates hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced c-Met phosphorylation and cell migration, as well as phosphorylation of ALK, EML4-ALK, and ALK resistance mutants in transfected cells.
TAK-659 is an inhibitor of spleen tyrosine kinase (syk), with potential anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, and antineoplastic activities. Spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor TAK-659 may inhibit the activity of syk, which abrogates downstream B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and leads to an inhibition of B-cell activation, chemotaxis, adhesion and proliferation. Note: TAK-659 free base is less stable. This product is supplied as dihydrochloride form.
