Perfluorinated SAHA is an HDAC inhibitor for use in cancer treatment regimens, with demonstrated greater antiproliferative properties than SAHA . PFSAHA has also been shown to have higher selectivity for PA3774, an HDAC-like enzyme from P. aeruginosa, as well as other HDACs, which may prove beneficial for developing novel chemotherapeutic treatments for cancer.
DYRKs-IN-1 has antitumor activity. DYRKs-IN-1 is a potent DYRKs (Dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinases) inhibitor with IC50s of 9 nM and 5 nM for DYRK1B and DYRK1A, respectively.
PKSI-527 is an inhibitor of plasma kallikrein (Ki = 0.81 μM). It is selective for plasma kallikrein over glandular kallikrein, plasmin, thrombin, urokinase, and Factor Xa (Kis = >500, 390, >500, 200, and >500 μM, respectively). PKSI-527 reduces bradykinin generation induced by kaolin and λ-carrageenan ex vivo in human plasma. It also prolongs partial thromboplastin and euglobulin clot lysis times. In vivo, PKSI-527 (300 mg/kg per day) reduces hyperplasia, pannus formation, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the tarsal joint of mice with collagen-induced arthritis.
LDHA PDKs-IN-1 (compound 20e) is a highly effective dual inhibitor of PDKs and LDHA, displaying IC50 values of 0.8 μM and 0.15 μM, respectively. It significantly suppresses A549 cell proliferation (EC50 = 13.2 μM), reduces lactate formation, and enhances oxygen consumption. This compound holds great promise for cancer research [1].
