A-83586C is a depsipeptide antibiotic from Streptomyces karnatakensis with potent against Gram-positive activity in vitro. A-83586C acts as a highly potent inhibitor of beta-catenin/TCF4 signaling within cancer cells, while simultaneously downregulating o
MPT0B206 is a novel tubulin polymerization inhibitor. MPT0B206 induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and the appearance of the mitotic marker MPM-2 in K562 and K562R cells, which is associated with the upregulation of cyclin B1 and the dephosphorylation of Cdc2.
Q134R, a neuroprotective hydroxyquinoline derivative that suppresses nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) signaling. Q134R can across blood-brain barrier. Q134R has the potential for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and aging-related disorders research[1]. Q134R (1-10 μM) suppresses NFAT signaling, without inhibiting calcineurin activity. Q134R partially inhibits NFAT activity in primary rat astrocytes, but does not prevent calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation of a non-NFAT target, either in vivo, or in vitro[1]. Q134R (4 mg kg; orally gavage; twice per day; for 7 days) treatment improves cognitive function in rodent models of AD‐like pathology[1]. [1]. Pradoldej Sompol, et al. Q134R: Small chemical compound with NFAT inhibitory properties improves behavioral performance and synapse function in mouse models of amyloid pathology. Aging Cell. 2021 Jul;20(7):e13416.
The inositol phosphates are a family of mono- to poly-phosphorylated compounds that act as messengers, regulating cellular functions including cell cycling, apoptosis, differentiation, andmotility. D-myo-Inositol-1,5,6-triphosphate is an intermediate compound, produced by the dephosphorylation of various inositol-tetrakisphosphate forms. The triphosphate can be further metabolized to produce inositol-biphosphate mediators. The biological roles of D-myo-inositol-1,5,6-triphosphate remain to be determined.
D-myo-Inositol-4-phosphate (Ins(4)P1) is a member of the inositol phosphate (InsP) molecular family that play critical roles as small, soluble second messengers in the transmission of cellular signals. The most studied InsP, Ins(1,4,5)P3, is a second messenger produced in cells by phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate. Binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to its receptor on the endoplasmic reticulum results in opening of the calcium channels and an increase in intracellular calcium. Ins(4)P1 can be formed by dephosphorylation of Ins(1,4)P2 by inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase or dephosphorylated to inositol by inositol monophosphatase.
DiIC1(5) is a signal-off fluorescent probe for the detection of mitochondrial membrane potential disruption. It accumulates in mitochondria and its fluorescence intensity decreases when the mitochondrial membrane potential is disrupted. DilC1(5) has been used in combination with a variety of cell damage and cell death markers to classify nine stages of cell death using flow cytometry. It has also been used as a quencher for the detection of serine phosphorylation and tyrosine dephosphorylation post-translational modifications (PTMs) in quenching resonance energy transfer (QRET) and mTR-FRET applications. It displays excitation emission maxima of 659 666 nm, respectively.
Succinyladenosine is a biochemical marker of adenylosuccinase (ASL) deficiency. It is formed through the dephosphorylation of intracellular adenylosuccinic acid (S-AMP) by cytosolic 5-nucleotidase [1].
Cyclocreatine, a Creatine analogue, exhibits potent bioenergetic protection by elevating ATP levels. It demonstrates the ability to traverse cell membranes, including the blood-brain barrier, wherein it undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by creatine kinases.
BTO-1 is a compound known as a Polo-like kinase (Plk) inhibitor, commonly employed for its effectiveness in regulating processes involving phosphorylation and dephosphorylation.
CBP501 is a peptide with G2 checkpoint-abrogating activity. G2 checkpoint inhibitor CBP501 inhibits multiple serine threonine kinases, including MAPKAP-K2, C-Tak1, and CHK1, that phosphorylate serine 216 of the dual-specific phosphatase Cdc25C (cell division checkpoint 25 C); disruption of Cdc25C activity results in the inhibition of Cdc25C dephosphorylation of the mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase complex Cdc2 cyclin B, preventing entry into the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.
CGP74514A is a CDK1 inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. In U937 cells, CGP74514A - induced apoptosis (5 microM) became apparent within 4 hr and approached 100% by 24 hr. The pan- caspase inhibitor Boc-fmk and the caspase-8 inhibitor lETD-fmk opposed CGP74514A -induced caspase-9 activation and PARP degradation, but not cytochrome c or Smac DIABLO release. CGP74514A -mediated apoptosis was substantially blocked by ectopic expression of full-length Bel- 2, a loop-deleted mutant Bcl-2, and Bcl-x(L). CGP74514A treatment (5 microM; 18 hr) resulted in increased p21(CIP1) expression, p27(KIP1) degradation, diminished E2F1 expression, and dephosphorylation of p34(CDC2). It also induced early (i.e., within 2 hr) inhibition of CDK1 activity and dephosphorylation of pRb, followed by pRb degradation, but did not block pRb phosphorylation at CDK2- and CDK4- specific sites. These findings indicate that the selective CDK1 inhibitor, CGP74514A , induces complex changes in cell cycle......
