EN219 is a synthetic recruiter of the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF114.1It binds to cysteine 8 (C8) in the intrinsically disordered region of RNF114 (RNF114-C8; IC50= 470 nM) and inhibits RNF114-induced autoubiquitination and p21 ubiquitination in a cell-free assay when used at a concentration of 50 μM. EN219 (1 μM) also interacts with cysteine residues in the tubulin β1 chain (TUBB1), heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60), also known as Hsp family D member 1 (HspD1), and histone H3.1 (HIST1H3A) in 231MFP human breast cancer cells in a proteomic profiling assay. It has been linked to the bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) inhibitor ligand (+)-JQ1 for use as a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) to degrade bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) in 231MFP cells. 1.Luo, M., Spradlin, J.N., Boike, L., et al.Chemoproteomics-enabled discovery of covalent RNF114-based degraders that mimic natural product functionCell Chem.

D,L-Cystathionine dihydrochloride is an intermediate in the synthesis of cysteine, which acts from the isotype of cysteine-β-synthase (CBS) produced by leucine and serine. Derived from cysteine. DL-cysteine contains a cysteine (βC-S) carbon-sulfur bond.
Cefminox (Sodium) is a new cephamycin antibiotic possessing a D-amino acid moiety derived from D-cysteine at the C-7B side chain. Cefminox is active against a wide range of bacteria, especially Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria. Cefminox shows excellent in vivo efficacy (ED50) which is higher than would be expected from its in vitro activity (MIC). Moreover, cefminox possesses more potent activity in suppression of bacterial regrowth than other cephems[1]. Cefminox (Sodium) was the most active beta-lactam, with an MIC at which 50% of isolates are inhibited (MIC50) of 1.0 microg ml and an MIC90 of 16.0 microg ml. Cefminox was especially active against Bacteroides fragilis (MIC90, 2.0 microg ml), Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (MIC90, 4.0 microg ml), fusobacteria (MIC90, 1.0 microg ml), peptostreptococci (MIC90, 2.0 microg ml), and clostridia, including Clostridium difficile (MIC90, 2.0 microg ml)[2]. The use of a single preoperative dose of cefminox was similar in efficacy to 3 doses of cefoxitin administered every 4 hours, and that the serum and tissue concentrations attained provide adequate antibiotic coverage[3]. Moreover, cefminox as a dual agonist of IP (Prostacyclin receptor) and PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) that significantly inhibits PASMC proliferation by up-regulation of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) and cAMP ( cyclic adenosine monophosphate), suggesting that it has potential for treatment of PAH(pulmonary arterial hypertension)[4].
