p-nitro-Pifithrin-α is a cell-permeable analog of pifithrin-α, a potent p53 inhibitor. It suppresses p53-mediated TGF-β1 expression in HK-2 cells and inhibits the activation of caspase-3 by Zika virus (ZIKV) strains. Moreover, p-nitro-Pifithrin-α attenuates steatosis and liver injury in mice subjected to a high-fat diet, mitigating the effects of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [1] [2] [3] [4].
ALC67 has a promising anticancer activity that results in the recent discovery of a series of 3-propionyl thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters as a family of novel antiproliferative agents. It is an activator of the caspase-9 involved apoptotic pat
Fascaplysin is a cyclin D kinase 4 cyclin D1 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.35 μM). Fascaplysin induces caspase mediated crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis through the inhibition of PI3K AKT mTOR signaling cascade in human leukemia HL-60 cells.
