Angiogenesis inhibitor BT2 is a novel inhibitor of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, inhibiting ERK phosphorylation and the expression of FosB ΔFosB, VCAM-1, and many genes involved in proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and inflammation, interacting with MEK1, suppressing retinal CD31, pERK, VCAM-1, and VEGF-A165 expression.
ABT-255 is a novel 2-pyridone antimicrobial agent for the treatment of tuberculosis. Both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis showed efficacy in vitro and in vivo.
TPI 287 is a synthetic, third generation taxane with potential antineoplastic activity. TPI 287 binds to tubulin and stabilizes microtubules, resulting in inhibition of microtubule assembly disassembly dynamics, cell cycle arrest at the G2 M phase, and apoptosis.
