Fasnall, a fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor, exhibits an IC50 of 3.71 μM against the human recombinant enzyme. It halts tritiated acetate incorporation into lipids (IC50= 5.84 μM), boosts ceramide levels, and triggers lipid droplet formation in BT474 HER2+ breast cancer cells. Demonstrating antiproliferative effects on various breast cancer cell lines, including non-tumorigenic MCF-10A and tumorigenic MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, BT474, and SK-BR-3, its efficacy is directly linked to FASN expression in vitro. In murine models of HER2+ breast cancer, particularly the MMTV-Neu model, Fasnall significantly reduces tumor volume and extends survival. Furthermore, it enhances the efficacy of carboplatin in vivo, bolstering the objective response rate of stable disease from 25% with carboplatin alone to 88% when paired with Fasnall.
Br-PEG3-OH is a PEG-based linker for PROTACs which joins two essential ligands, crucial for forming PROTAC molecules. This linker enables selective protein degradation by leveraging the ubiquitin-proteasome system within cells.
2-deoxy-D-Glucose-13C6is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 2-deoxy-D-glucose by GC- or LC-MS. 2-deoxy-D-Glucose is a glucose antimetabolite and an inhibitor of glycolysis.1,2It inhibits hexokinase, the enzyme that converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, as well as phosphoglucose isomerase, the enzyme that converts glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.32-deoxy-D-Glucose (16 mM) induces apoptosis in SK-BR-3 cells, as well as inhibits the growth of 143B osteosarcoma cells cultured under hypoxic conditions when used at a concentration of 2 mg ml.4,5In vivo, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (500 mg kg) reduces tumor growth in 143B osteosarcoma and MV522 non-small cell lung cancer mouse xenograft models when used alone or in combination with doxorubicin or paclitaxel .6 1.Kang, H.T., and Hwang, E.S.2-Deoxyglucose: An anticancer and antiviral therapeutic, but not any more a low glucose mimeticLife Sci.78(12)1392-1399(2006) 2.Aft, R.L., Zhang, F.W., and Gius, D.Evaluation of 2-deoxy-D-glucose as a chemotherapeutic agent: Mechanism of cell deathBr.

Nemorosone is a polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) originally isolated from C. rosea that has antiproliferative properties.1 Nemorosone inhibits growth of NB69, Kelly, SK-N-AS, and LAN-1 neuroblastoma cells (IC50s = 3.1-6.3 μM), including several drug-resistant clones, but not MRC-5 human embryonic fibroblasts (IC50 = >40 μM).2 It increases DNA fragmentation in LAN-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and decreases N-Myc protein levels and phosphorylation of ERK1 2 by MEK1 2. Nemorosone also inhibits growth of Capan-1, AsPC-1, and MIA-PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 4.5-5.0 μM following a 72-hour treatment) but not human dermal and foreskin fibroblasts (IC50s = >35 μM).1 It induces apoptosis, abolishes the mitochondrial membrane potential, and increases cytosolic calcium concentration in pancreatic cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Nemorosone activates the caspase cascade in a dose-dependent manner and inhibits cell cycle progression, increasing the proportion of cells in the G0 G1 phase, in both neuroblastoma and pancreatic cancer cells.1,2 Nemorosone (50 mg kg, i.p., per day) also reduces tumor growth in an MIA-PaCa-2 mouse xenograft model.3References1.
