Etoposide phosphate disodium (BMY-40481 disodium), a phosphate ester prodrug of etoposide, functions as a potent chemotherapeutic agent by selectively inhibiting topoisomerase II, hindering the re-ligation of DNA strands. It is regarded as the active equivalent of etoposide, effectively inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy in cancer cells.
Etoposide phosphate is a phosphate salt of Etoposide, which binds to the enzyme topoisomerase II, then induces double-strand DNA breaks and inhibits DNA repair, leading to decreased DNA synthesis and tumor cell proliferation.
ProTAME is an inhibitor of APC/CFzr and APC/CCdc20. Combinations of proTAME with topoisomerase inhibitors, doxorubicin and etoposide, significantly increase cell death in primary cells and Multiple Myeloma (MM) cell lines, particularly if TOPIIα levels are first increased through pre-treatment with ProTAME.This compound is unstable in powder form and other related salt forms are recommended.
Potent Chk2 inhibitor (IC50 = 3 nM). Shows >63-fold selectivity for Chk1 over Chk2 and a panel of 84 other kinases. Inhibits Chk2 activation in response to etoposide-induced DNA damage in HT29 cells. Blocks ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis of mouse thymocytes. Caldwell et al (2011) Structure-based design of potent and selective 2-(quinazolin-2-yl)phenol inhibitors of checkpoint kinase 2.

NK314 is a novel synthetic benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid that shows strong antitumor activity. It inhibited topoisomerase II activity and stabilized topoisomerase II-DNA cleavable complexes. The DNA breaks occurred within 1h after treatment with NK314 even without digestion of topoisomerase II by proteinase K, whereas etoposide required digestion of the enzyme protein in cleavable complex to detect DNA breaks. Pretreatment with topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitors, ICRF-193 and suramin, reduced both cleavable complex-mediated DNA breaks and proteinase K-independent DNA breaks, but protease inhibitors and nuclease inhibitors only decreased the latter.
AZD6918 is a novel potent and selective inhibitor of the Trk tyrosine kinases. AZD-6918 attenuates the BDNF TrkB-induced protection of neuroblastoma cells from etoposide in vitro and in vivo. AZD6918 inhibited wild-type TrkB-induced cell migration and cell growth.
NSC 660028 is a novel γ-lactone ring modified arylamino etoposide analogram with strong antitumor activity as an inhibitor of human DNA topoisomerase II.
NK-611 free acid is a new semisynthetic analogue of etoposide, which presumably also acts through inhibition of topoisomerase II, and has been found to be more potent against several cancer cell lines in vitro than etoposide.
10'-Desmethoxystreptonigrin is an antibiotic originally isolated from Streptomyces and a derivative of the antibiotic streptonigrin. It is active against a variety of bacteria, including S. aureus, S. faecalis, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and P. vulgaris (MICs = 0.4, 1.6, 3.1, 3.1 and 0.4 μg/ml, respectively). 10'-Desmethoxystreptonigrin is cytotoxic to HCT116 colon and A2780 ovarian cancer cells (IC50s = 0.004 and 0.001 μg/ml, respectively), as well as HCT116 cells resistant to etoposide and teniposide and cisplatin-resistant A2780 cells (IC50s = 0.003, 0.001, and 0.01 μg/ml, respectively). 10'-Desmethoxystreptonigrin is also an inhibitor of p21ras farnesylation (IC50 = 21 nM).
MS-073 (CP-162398) is a P-glycoprotein inhibitor (P-gp). The in vitro resistance to vincristine (VCR) was almost completely reversed in VCR-resistant P388 cells, and the resistance of VCR, adriamycin (ADM), etoposide, and actinomycin D in ADM-resistant hu
17(R)-Resolvin D3 (17(R)-RvD3) is an aspirin-triggered epimer of resolvin D3, produced from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) through the action of COX-2 in the presence of aspirin, via a 17(R)-hydroperoxy DHA (17(R)-HDHA) intermediary. Identified in mouse inflammatory exudates, 17(R)-RvD3 notably inhibits the transmigration of isolated human polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) and fosters the efferocytosis of apoptotic PMNs by macrophages. Furthermore, in a mouse model of zymosan-induced peritonitis, 17(R)-RvD3 administration (10 ng animal) significantly curtails neutrophil infiltration into the peritoneal cavity and modulates cytokine levels by reducing IL-6 and increasing IL-10 in the inflammatory exudate. It engages GPR32, evidenced by activation in a β-arrestin reporter assay and augments phagocytosis more effectively in CHO cells overexpressing GPR32 compared to controls. Additionally, 17(R)-RvD3 enhances the clearance of etoposide-induced tumor cell debris by monocyte-derived macrophages in H460 human lung carcinoma.
CHS-828 nicotinate is a CHS-828 salt with Nicotinic acid.. CHS-828 also known as GMX-1778, is a potent and selective NAMPT inhibitor. CHS-828 inhibits cellular synthesis of NAD. CHS 828 kill tumour cells by inhibiting the nuclear factor-kappaB translocation but unlikely through down-regulation of proteasome. CHS 828 has shown promising anticancer activity in experimental tumor models and primary cultures of cancer cells from patients. CHS 828 showed a synergistic effect with melphalan in 67%, doxorubicin in 47%, etoposide in 38% and Ara-C in 14% of AML samples.
