fd-in-1

FD-IN-1 is a factor D (FD) inhibitor with an IC50 of 12 nM.FD-IN-1 also inhibits factor XIa (FXIa) and Tryptase β2 with IC50s of 7.7 and 6.5μM, respectively. Complement FD, a highly specific S1 serine protease, plays a central role in the alternative complement pathway of the innate immune system.

Complement factor D-IN-1 is an effective and selective small-molecule reversible factor d inhibitor (IC50s: 0.006 and 0.05 μM in FD Thioesterolytic Fluorescent Assay and a MAC Deposition Assay, respectively).

FD-211 is a δ lactone originally isolated from M. lutea with anticancer activity.1 It is cytotoxic to adriamycin-susceptible P388, T-24, HeLa, A549, and HL-60 cancer cells (IC50s = 4, 0.5, 1, 1, and 0.2 μg/ml, respectively), as well as adriamycin-resistant HL-60/ADR cells (IC50 = 0.1 μg/ml). FD-211 also inhibits DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in HeLa cells (IC50 = 1.25 μg/ml for all). |1. Nozawa, O., Okazaki, T., Sakai, N., et al. A novel bioactive δ lactone FD-211.
