Monaspin B, a natural product from the co-culture of Monascus purpureus and Aspergillus oryzae, exhibits anti-proliferative activity by inducing apoptosis in HL-60 cells at an IC50 of 160 nM, demonstrating its antitumor properties [1].
Euphohelioscopin A, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), it inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation of the myeloid leukemia cell lines THP-1 and HL-60. Euphohelioscopin A has anti-inflammary activity, it exhibits moderate inhibitory activity
O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin is a metabolite of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and COX inhibitor indomethacin .1It is formed from indomethacin in isolated rabbit hepatocytes. O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin (600 μM) decreases the viability of HL-60 leukemia cells when cultured with glucose oxidase.2It has also been used in the synthesis of prostaglandin D2receptor antagonists.3 1.Evans, M.A., Papazafiratou, C., Bhat, R., et al.Indomethacin metabolism in isolated neonatal and fetal rabbit hepatocytesPediatr.

ADTL-EI1712 is a dual inhibitor of ERK1 and ERK5 (IC50s = 40.43 and 64.5 nM, respectively).1It reduces ERK1 and ERK5 activity by 93.5% and 89.4%, respectively, but also inhibits ERK2 activity by 92.7%, in a panel of 100 kinases at 1 μM. ADTL-EI1712 inhibits proliferation of HL-60 and MKN74, but not HeLa, cancer cells (IC50s = 1.26, 2.55, and >50 μM, respectively). It reduces tumor growth and intratumor phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and ERK5 in an MKN74 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg per day. 1.Wang, G., Zhao, Y., Liu, Y., et al.Discovery of a novel dual-target inhibitor of ERK1 and ERK5 that induces regulated cell death to overcome compensatory mechanism in specific tumor typesJ.
