CAY10748 is an agonist of stimulator of interferon genes (STING; IC50= 0.3794 μM in a competition binding assay).1It activates STING in STING-expressing, but not STING knockout, THP-1 cells (EC50s = 0.287 and >100 μM, respectively, in a reporter assay). It induces phosphorylation of STING at the serine in position 366, as well as phosphorylation of TBK1 and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), indicating activation of the STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling pathway. CAY10748 increases the secretion of IFN-β and the levels of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), and IL-6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) when used at a concentration of 10 μM. It also reduces tumor growth in a CT26 murine colon cancer model when administered at a dose of 0.15, but not 1.5, mg/kg. 1.Xi, Q., Wang, M., Jia, W., et al.Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of amidobenzimidazole derivatives as stimulator of interferon genes (STING) receptor agonistsJ.

CAY10762 is an inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL; IC50= 34.1 nM).1It reduces hydrogen peroxide-induced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from Neuro2a cells when used at a concentration of 1 μM. CAY10762 (10 mg kg) increases levels of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol in mouse brain. 1.Castelli, R., Scalvini, L., Vacondio, F., et al.Benzisothiazolinone derivatives as potent allosteric monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitors that functionally mimic sulfenylation of regulatory cysteinesJ.

CAY10763 is a dual inhibitor of indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1; IC50= 46 nM) and STAT3 activation.1It binds to STAT3 (Kd= 530 nM) and selectively reduces the levels of STAT3 phosphorylated at the tyrosine in position 705 (STAT3Y705) over phosphorylated STAT3S727, STAT1, and STAT5 in SKOV3 cells when used at a concentration of 500 nM. It also inhibits STAT3 nuclear translocation in SKOV3 cells. CAY10763 is cytotoxic to HCT116, SKOV3, A549, and HepG2 cancer cells (IC50s = 37, 28, 33, and 12 nM, respectively). It reduces tumor growth in B16 F10 mouse melanoma and HepG2 mouse xenograft models when administered at doses of 100 and 10 mg kg, respectively. 1.Huang, R., Jing, X., Huang, X., et al.Bifunctional naphthoquinone aromatic amide-oxime derivatives exert combined immunotherapeutic and antitumor effects through simultaneous targeting of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3J.
