FJ9 is a FZD7 inhibitor which disrupts protein-protein interaction between Frz7 and the PDZ domain of DVL, and induces apoptosis in melanoma cellline and non-smallcelllungcancercellline.
RKS262 is a specific cyclin CDK inhibitor. RKS262 was identified by structural optimization of Nifurtimox which is currently undergoing phase II clinical trials to treat high-risk neuroblastoma. In a NCI(60) cell-line assay RKS262 exhibited significant cytotoxicity in ovarian cancercells and a variety of other celllines exceeding effects of commercial drugs such as cisplatin, 5-FU, cyclophosphamide or sapacitabine. Various leukemia cell-lines were most sensitive (GI(50): ~ 10 nM) while several non-smallcelllungcancercelllines and few celllines from other tissues were relatively resistant (GI(50) > 1 µM) to RKS262 treatment.
