Glutaminyl Cyclase Inhibitor 3, a designed anti-Alzheimer’s compound, is a potent human Glutaminyl Cyclase (GC) inhibitor (IC50: 4.5 nM). It significantly reduced the brain concentrations of pyroform Aβ and total Aβ and restored cognitive functions.
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.

Antitumor agent-53 is a potent compound that effectively inhibits tumor growth. It achieves this by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G2 M phase and promoting apoptosis in HGC-27 cells through the inhibition of the PI3K AKT pathway. Furthermore, Antitumor agent-53 holds promise for further research in the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors [1].
SC10914 is a highly potent PARP inhibitor (PARP1 IC50 = 7.87 nM) with potent anti-proliferative activity against human BRCA deficient tumor cells (MDA-MB-436, BRCA1 deficient, IC50 = 4.03 nM, Capan-1 BRCA2 deficient, IC50 = 11.66 nM) and PTEN deficient tumor cells (HGC-27,PTEN deficient, IC50 = 0.35 μM). SC10914 showed potent anti-tumor activity in BRCA1 2 mutant tumor models and better pharmacokinetics profile has the potential to be selected as the clinical candidate for the treatment of treatment of BRCA1 2 deficient cancers.
