BPI-9016M is an effective, orally active, and selective dual inhibitor of c-Met and AXL tyrosine kinases. It suppresses tumor cell growth, invasion, and migration of lungadenocarcinoma.
Nemadipine A is an L-type calcium channel blocker that induces morphological and growth defects in wild-type C. elegans and those with hypoexpression of egl-19, which encodes the only L-type calcium channel α1-subunit in the C. elegans genome. It also inhibits L-type calcium channels in chick ciliary neurons. Nemadipine A increases TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity and synergistically enhances caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation in a concentration-dependent manner in H1299 lungadenocarcinoma cells. It also decreases Survivin expression when used alone or in combination with TRAIL in A549 cells.
Chromomycin A2 is an aureolic acid that has been found in several marine actinomycetes and has antibacterial and anticancer activities. Chromomycin A2 inhibits the growth of B. subtilis in an agar diffusion assay. It also inhibits the growth of human SGC7901 gastric cancer, HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma, A549 lung epithelial adenocarcinoma, HCT116 colon cancer, and COC1 ovarian cancer cells, as well as human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs; IC50s = 4, 0.5, 3, 5, 5, and 8 nM, respectively). Chromomycin A2 (30 nM) halts the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase and increases the protein levels of LC3A and LC3B in MALME-3M melanoma cells, indicating that it induces autophagy. It also increases the levels and promoter activity of the autophagic proteins ATG7 and ATG10 and reduces cell viability to 50% in human SCC-11 squamous cell carcinoma cells when used at a concentration of 30 nM.
Antitumor agent-44 (Compound 5n) elicits potent antitumor effects by inducing disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in human adenocarcinoma cells. Moreover, Antitumor agent-44 demonstrates significant anti-tumor activity in a lung cancer cell xenograft mice model [1].
IST-622 is a unique topoisomerase inhibitor, showing significant growth-inhibitory effects against large-cell lung cancer (Lu-116) and gastric adenocarcinoma (St-4).
