Myceliothermophin E is a polyketide-amino acid hybrid fungal metabolite that has been found inT. thermophilusand has anticancer and antimicrobial activities.1,2It is cytotoxic to DLD-1, Hep3B, HepG2, and HGC-27 cancer cells (IC50s = 0.32, 0.42, 0.26, and 0.08 μg/ml, respectively).1Myceliothermophin E is active against methicillin-resistant, but not -sensitive,S. aureus(MICs = 15.8 and >100 μM, respectively).2 1.Gao, Y.-L., Zhang, M.-L., Wang, X., et al.Isolation and characterization of a new cytotoxic polyketide-amino acid hybrid from Thermothelomyces thermophilus ATCC 42464Nat.

Destruxin B2 is a cyclic hexadepsipeptide mycotoxin that has been found in M. anisopliae and has antiviral, insecticidal, and phytotoxic activities.1,2,3 It inhibits secretion of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) by Hep3B cells expressing hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA (IC50 = 1.3 μM).1 Destruxin B2 is toxic to Sf9 insect cells in an electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) test with a 50% inhibitory concentration (ECIS50) value of 92 μM.4 It is also phytotoxic to B. napus leaves.3 |1.

Streptochlorin is a bacterial metabolite originally isolated from Streptomyces sp. SF2583 that has diverse biological activities, including antiangiogenic, antiproliferative, and anti-allergic properties. It inhibits TNF-α-induced NF-κB transcriptional activity and decreases proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at concentrations ranging from 5 to 20 μM. Streptochlorin (12 μg/ml) decreases viability of, as well as induces apoptosis and increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in, Hep3B human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. It does not induce cytotoxicity in RBL-2H3 mast cells at concentrations up to 100 μM. Streptochlorin prevents degranulation in antigen-stimulated mast cells, as well as inhibits Syk kinase and the Src family kinases LYN and Fyn and reduces the secretion of TNF-α and IL-4 induced by dinitrophenyl-human serum album (DNP-HSA) in RBL-2H3 mast cells. It also decreases swelling and reduces scratching behavior in a mouse model of allergic dermatitis induced by dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB).
Roxadustat-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of roxadustat by GC- or LC-MS. Roxadustat is an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH; IC50s = 1.4, 1.26, and 1.32 µM for HIF-PH1, HIF-PH2, and HIF-PH3, respectively). It is selective for HIF-PH over other 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including lysine-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A), KDM5B, -5C, -5D, and -6B (IC50s = >100 µM for all). Roxadustat (10-200 µM) stabilizes HIF-1α and HIF-2α in Hep3Bhepatocellular carcinoma cells. It increases levels of secreted erythropoietin in Hep3B cells in a concentration-dependent manner and increases erythropoiesis in rats when administered at doses of 25 and 50 mg kg. Roxadustat reverses anemia in a rat model of chronic inflammation induced by peptidoglycan-polysaccharide, as well as a rat model of chronic kidney disease induced by 5 6 nephrectomy. It reduces tumor growth and increases survival in a murine Lewis lung carcin......
