Glycoprotein B is a peptide with the sequence H2N-Ser-Ser-Ile-Glu-Phe-Ala-Arg-Leu-OH, MW= 922.04. glycoprotein B is a viral glycoprotein that is involved in the viral cell entry of Herpes simplex virus. The herpesvirus glycoprotein B is the most highly c
BS2G crosslinker (Bis[Sulfosuccinimidyl] glutarate) is an amine reactive, water-soluble, isofunctional protein crosslinker. The molecule is impenetrable to cell membranes and can be used to label cellsurfaceproteins.
Pulchellin is a type-2 Ribosome Inactivating Protein (RIP), whose action mechanism proposed would be initiate by B-chain binding on glycoconjugate onto the cellsurface (lectinic chain). pulchellin isoforms toxicity is the interaction between B-chain lect
Hedgehog (Hh) proteins, important regulators of development, bind the cell-surfaceprotein Patched, allowing activation of Smoothened. In vertebrates, this ultimately leads to the activation of the zinc-finger transcription factors of the Gli family. Overactivation of this pathway contributes to certain cancers, including glioblastoma, for which the Gli proteins are named. Hh antagonist VIII is a cell-permeable quinazolinyl-urea compound that has been shown to inhibit Gli transcription activity with an IC50 value of 70 nM.
O-11 is an analog of the fully saturated, 14-carbon fatty acid myristic acid, in which the methylene group at position 11 is replaced with oxygen. It is highly effective and selective at killingTrypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite responsible for African sleeping sickness, exhibiting an LD50of less than 1 μM in a cell culture assay.1,2The toxic effects of O-11 appear to be caused by its ability to inhibit the incorporation of a single myristate into the GPI anchor of the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG), a protein critical for evading the host immune response.1O-11 exhibits essentially no anti-fungal activity when assayed usingC. neoformans, but does have a minor inhibitory effect on HIV-1 replication in T-lymphocytes.3 1.Doering, T.L., Raper, J., Buxbaum, L.U., et al.An analog of myristic acid with selective toxicity for African trypanosomesScience2521851-1854(1991) 2.Doering, T.L., Lu, T., Werbovetz, K.A., et al.Toxicity of myristic acid analogs toward African trypanosomesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America919735-9739(1994) 3.Langner, C.A., Lodge, J.K., Travis, S.J., et al.4-Oxatetradecanoic acid is fungicidal for Cryptococcus neoformans and inhibits replication of human immunodeficiency virus IThe Journal of Biological Chemisty267(24)17159-17169(1992)
CAY10774 is an inhibitor of the protein-protein interaction between programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 (IC50= 15 nM in a homologous time-resolved fret (HTRF) assay).1It increases the activation of Jurkat cells expressing PD-1 in co-culture with artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) expressing PD-L1 (EC50= 6.6 μM in a reporter assay). CAY10774 increases surface expression of PD-1 on primary human CD4+and CD8+T cells co-cultured with aAPCs. 1.Konieczny, M., Musielak, B., Kocik, J., et al.Di-bromo-based small-molecule inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpointJ.

M-COPA is a golgi disruptor which inhibits cellsurface expression of MET protein and the ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1) activation. M-COPA also inhibits angiogenesis through suppression of both VEGFR1 2 and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathways.
Patidegip, laos known as Saridegib and IPI-926, is an orally bioavailable, cyclopamine-derived (for structure comparison see Fig 1) inhibitor of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway with potential antineoplastic activity. Specifically, Hedgehog pathway inhibitor IPI-926 binds to and inhibits the cell membrane-spanning G-protein coupled receptor SMO, which may result in the suppression of Hh pathway signaling and a decrease in tumor cell proliferation and survival. SMO is activated upon binding of Hh ligand to the cellsurface receptor Patched (PTCH); inappropriate activation of Hh signaling and uncontrolled cellular proliferation may be associated with SMO mutations.
