Garcinone E is active constituents in the anticomplement assay used. Garcinone E exhibits potent activity in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine-resistant strain W2, with IC50 values below 3 µM. It has potent cytotoxic effect on all hepatocellular carcinomas cell lines as well as on the other gastric and lung cancer cell lines included in the screen, may be potentially useful for the treatment of certain types of cancer.
N-Nitroso sarcosine is a carcinogen and nitrosation product of sarcosine that has been found in cured meat products.1,2In vivo, N-nitroso sarcosine (225 mg kg) induces the formation of metastatic liver carcinomas in mice.2 1.Janzowski, C., Eisenbrand, G., and Preussmann, R.Occurrence of N-nitrosamino acids in cured meat products and their efffect on formation of N-nitrosamines during heatingFood Cosmet.

N-Nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA) is a tobacco-specific nitrosamine carcinogen.1It is oxidized to the reactive metabolite methyl-2-oxopropylnitrosamine (MOPN) in isolated rat liver mitochondria.2NMBA induces bladder transitional cell carcinomas in rats when administered in the drinking water at a concentration of 300 mg L per day.3
FMOC-L-THR (AZP-531) is an analogue of unacylated ghrelin designed to improve glycaemic control and reduce weight. The O-glycosidic linkage and the O-acetyl protection in this building block is stable to both piperidine and TFA, making it completely compatible with standard protocols in Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. The Tn antigen is a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen that is not normally expressed in peripheral tissues or blood cells. Expression of this antigen, which is found in a majority of human carcinomas of all types, arises from a blockage in the normal O-glycosylation pathway in which glycans are extended from the common precursor GalNAcα1-O-Ser Thr (Tn +antigen)[1].
Diuron is a Phenylurea herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis by preventing the formation of ATP and NADH. Diuron (25 nM ml) decreases total respiration in roots of wheat by 50% and ground respiration by 100%. Diuron (2,500 ppm, dietary) increases the inc
Ganglioside GT1b is a trisialoganglioside that is characterized by having two sialic residues linked to the inner galactose unit. It binds to the neurotoxins botulinum toxin serotype A (BTxA), BTxA heavy chain, and tetanus toxin with IC50 values of 11, 0.74, and 7.2 μM, respectively.[1] Ganglioside GT1b-containing liposomes bind to the major coat protein VP1 from Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), which has been identified in Merkel cell carcinomas, identifying ganglioside GT1b as a putative MCPyV receptor. [2] Ganglioside GT1b decreases production of IL-6, IL-10, IgG, IgM, and IgA in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by 31.4, 30.5, 60, 59.5, and 58%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 10 μM [3] . Ganglioside GT1b mixture contains ganglioside GT1b molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones.
Potent endogenous ligand of the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1, GPR54). Binds with high affinity to rat and human KISS1 receptors with Ki values of 1.80 and 1.45 nM respectively. Inhibits chemotaxis, invasion and metastasis of human melanomas and breast carci
ReACp53 is a cell-penetrating peptide, designed to inhibit p53 amyloid formation, resues p53 function in cancer cell lines and in organoids derived from high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOC).
