(S)-p38 MAPK inhibitor III is a methylsulfanylimidazole that inhibits p38 MAP kinase (IC50 = 0.90 μM in vitro). It is cell-permeable, potently blocking the release of TNF-α and IL-1β from human peripheral blood mononuclearcells (IC50s = 0.37 and 0.044 μM, respectively).
High affinity and selective cell-permeable p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) inhibitor (Ki = 47 nM). Exhibits no significant activity against a panel of 48 other bromodomains except GCN5 (Kd = 600 nM). Exhibits >4500-fold selectivity for PCAF over BRD4. Also exhibits metabolic stability in mouse and human liver microsomes and no observable cytotoxicity in peripheral blood mononuclearcells (PBMC).

Boromycin is a boron-containing macrolide antibiotic that has been found in Streptomyces. Boromycin inhibits growth of B. subtilis (MIC = 0.05 μg ml) and induces efflux of potassium ions from B. subtilis without affecting Na+ K+-ATPase activity. It decreases the synthesis of protein, RNA, and DNA in B. subtilis when used at a concentration of 0.05 μg ml. It inhibits the growth of B. halodurans (MIC = 10 ng ml) and inhibits the futalosine pathway of menaquinone synthesis in B. halodurans. Boromycin (3.4 nM) reverses bleomycin-induced cell cycle arrest at the G2 phase in Jurkat cells. It inhibits replication of the HIV-1 strains LAV-1 and RF and the HIV-2 strain LAV-2 in MT-4 cells (IC50s = 0.008, 0.11, and 0.007 μM, respectively). It also inhibits replication of a clinical isolate of HIV-1, strain KK-1, in MT-4 cells and peripheral blood mononuclearcells (PBMCs; IC50s = 0.14 and <0.1 μM, respectively).
Ganglioside GT1b is a trisialoganglioside that is characterized by having two sialic residues linked to the inner galactose unit. It binds to the neurotoxins botulinum toxin serotype A (BTxA), BTxA heavy chain, and tetanus toxin with IC50 values of 11, 0.74, and 7.2 μM, respectively.[1] Ganglioside GT1b-containing liposomes bind to the major coat protein VP1 from Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), which has been identified in Merkel cell carcinomas, identifying ganglioside GT1b as a putative MCPyV receptor. [2] Ganglioside GT1b decreases production of IL-6, IL-10, IgG, IgM, and IgA in human peripheral blood mononuclearcells (PBMCs) by 31.4, 30.5, 60, 59.5, and 58%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 10 μM [3] . Ganglioside GT1b mixture contains ganglioside GT1b molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones.
BLX3887 is an inhibitor of 15-lipoxygenase type 1 (15-LO-1; IC50 = 32 nM in a cell-free enzyme assay).1 It is selective for 15-LO-1 over 15-LO-2, which it does not inhibit, 5-LO (IC50 = 472 nM), and 12-LO (IC50 = 3,310 nM). BLX3887 inhibits the production of 15-LO metabolites selectively in eosinophils over neutrophils when used at a concentration of 10 μM. It also inhibits endocytosis in, and the migration of, isolated human peripheral blood mononuclearcell-derived dendritic cells in vitro. |1. Archambault, A.-S., Turcotte, C., Martin, C., et al. Comparison of eight 15-lipoxygenase (LO) inhibitors on the biosynthesis of 15-LO metabolites by human neutrophils and eosinophils. PLoS One 13(8), e0202424 (2018).
Dichloroacetate (DCA) is an inhibitor of all pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) isoforms, which are enzymes that phosphorylate and inhibit PDH in mitochondria. Inhibition of PDHK shifts cell metabolism from glycolysis to mitochondrial glucose oxidation, an effect that has relevance to cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other diseases. CAY10703 is a DCA trimer that is at least 10-fold more cytotoxic against leukemia cell lines than DCA. It is approximately 3-fold less cytotoxic than DCA against peripheral blood mononuclearcells from healthy blood donors. CAY10703 significantly reduces both basal and maximal respiration in leukemia cells. It is stable in vivo after subcutaneous inoculation, remaining in circulation for more than five hours after injection.
p38 MAPK inhibitor (IC50 = 0.38 μM). Inhibits the release of IL-1β and TNF-α in a peripheral blood mononuclearcell (PBMC) assay (IC50 values are 0.039 and 0.16 μM respectively).

BMSpep-57, a potent macrocyclic peptide inhibitor, competitively disrupts the PD-1 PD-L1 interaction, demonstrating a significant inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 7.68 nM. It exhibits binding affinity towards PD-L1 with dissociation constants (Kd) of 19 nM and 19.88 nM in MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays, respectively. This compound enhances T cell functionality by promoting Interleukin-2 (IL-2) production within Peripheral Blood MononuclearCells (PBMCs).
KRH-1636 is an orally active, selective and extremely potent CXC chemokine receptor 4 antagonist. KRH-1636 exhibits a potent and selective anti-HIV-1 activity. KRH-1636 efficiently blocked replication of various T cell line-tropic (X4) HIV type 1 (HIV-1) in MT-4 cells and peripheral blood mononuclearcells through the inhibition of viral entry and membrane fusion via the CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)4 coreceptor but not via CC chemokine receptor 5. KRH-1636 also inhibits binding of the CXC chemokine, stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha, to CXCR4 specifically and subsequent signal transduction. KRH-1636 prevented monoclonal antibodies from binding to CXCR4 without down-modulation of the coreceptor. KRH-1636 seems to be a promising agent for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
