Mezerein is a chemical compound with antileukemic properties and acts as a PKC activator. It effectively inhibits the growth of yeast expressing PKC alpha (IC 50 = 1190 nM), PKC beta1 (IC 50 = 908 nM), and PKC delta (IC 50 = 141 nM). However, it does not inhibit the growth of yeast expressing PKC.
GCN2iB is a GCN2 inhibitor. GCN2iB may be useful for the treatment of cancer. The inhibition of GCN2 sensitizes cancer cells with low basal-level expression of asparagine synthetase (ASNS) to the antileukemic agent L-asparaginase (ASNase) in vitro and in vivo.
