HL271, a derivative of metformin, is a potent AMPK activator that increases AMPK phosphorylation. HL271 attenuates aging-associated cognitive impairment.
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.

AZD 1152 is an orally bioavailable prodrug of AZD 1152-HQPA, a selective inhibitor of Aurora kinase B (IC50= 0.36 nM).1AZD 1152 is converted to AZD 1152-HQPA in plasma. Inhibition of Aurora B results in disruption of spindle checkpoint functions and chromosome alignment, resulting in inhibition of cytokinesis followed by apoptosis.2,3AZD 1152 inhibits tumor xenograft growthin vivo.4,5 1.Mortlock, A.A., Foote, K.M., Heron, N.M., et al.Discovery, synthesis, and in vivo activity of a new class of pyrazoloquinazolines as selective inhibitors of aurora B kinaseJ.
