Selective peptide-based β-catenin Degrader. Comprises a β-catenin-targeted stapled peptide, xStAx, linked to a VHL-binding peptide. Reduces β-catenin levels in HEK293T cells and colorectal cancer cell lines. Selectively degrades β-catenin over other Wnt signaling pathway components. Inhibits tumor growth in APCmin + mice, with constitutively active Wnt signaling, and reduces survival of patient-derived colorectal cancer cell organoids.
CAY10722 is an inhibitor of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a class III HDAC (71% inhibition at 200 μM). SIRT3 is involved in modulating metabolic homeostasis as a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase in the mitochondria. SIRT3 functions as either an oncogene or tumor suppressor, depending on cancer cell type. High SIRT3 expression in patient-derived esophageal cancer tissues is associated with shorter survival and, in mice, downregulation leads to a lower tumor load. In contrast, low SIRT3 expression in patient-derived breast cancer cells is correlated with shorter survival.
Promotes proteasomal degradation of Miro1 (mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1). Reduces Miro1 levels in fibroblasts from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients (IC50 = 7.8 μM). Exhibits no significant effect on related outer mitochondrial membrane protein Mitofusin. Reduces stress-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons derived from PD patient iPSCs. Rescues age-dependent neuronal loss and prolongs lifespan in fly PD models.
FGTI-2734 mesylate, a RAS C-terminal mimetic compound with dual farnesyl transferase (FT) and geranylgeranyl transferase-1 (GGT) inhibitory activities (IC50s of 250 nM and 520 nM for FT and GGT, respectively), mitigates KRAS resistance by preventing its membrane localization, effectively impeding mutant KRAS patient-derived pancreatic tumors.
Darinaparsin is a dimethylated arsenic linked to glutathione. It is cytotoxic to DU145, LNCaP, and PC3 prostate cancer cells (IC50s = 5-10 µM) and patient-derived primary prostate cancer cells (IC50s = 2.5-20 µM), as well as Jurkat T cell lymphoma and L540 Hodgkin lymphoma cells (IC50s = 2.7 and 1.3 µM, respectively). [1][2] It decreases the tumor-initiating subpopulation in DU145 and PC3 cells and halts the cell cycle in the G2 M phase. Darinaparsin decreases transcription of Gli-2, a transcription factor that mediates Sonic hedgehog signaling, when used at a concentration of 1.5 but not 3 µM. It decreases SHP1 phosphatase activity and increases ERK phosphorylation. [2] Darinaparsin reduces tumor growth in DU145 and PC3 prostate cancer mouse xenograft models when administered at a dose of 100 mg kg every other day.[1]
Potent and selective BTK Degrader (IC50 = 5.1 nM); degrades BTK in a proteasome- and CRBN-dependent manner. Suppresses BTK signaling and proliferation in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells by degrading BTK, IKFZ1, and IKFZ3 (3 validated targets in B-cell malignancies). Also degrades Ibrutinib (Cat. No. 6813) -resistant C481S-BTK mutant cancer cells. Exhibits no binding against a panel of 468 kinases at 1 μM. Reduces tumor burden and extends survival in lymphoma patient-derived xenograft models.
5-Chlorouracil is a chlorinated derivative of the pyrimidine nucleoside base uracil . In vivo, it is converted into chlorodeoxyuridine, which is mutagenic and genotoxic.1 Uracil is chlorinated at the 5 position in a cell-free myeloperoxidase, peroxide, and chloride system in which hypochlorous acid is formed.2 5-Chlorouracil has been found in human neutrophils stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in vitro and in inflammatory human exudate isolated from sites of superficial infection. Levels of 5-chlorouracil are increased in exudate isolated from the site of inflammation in a rat model of carrageenan-induced inflammation and in patient-derived human atherosclerotic aortic tissue.3,4References 5-Chlorouracil is a chlorinated derivative of the pyrimidine nucleoside base uracil .

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE-N-(cap biotin) is a biotinylated phospholipid. It has been used in PEGylated polyamidoamine-dendrimer-conjugated supported lipid bilayers (SLB) to isolate circulating tumor cells and tumor cell microembolis from patient-derived blood by antibody-coated microfluidics. [1] It has also been used as a component of SLBs to detect protein-ligand binding with ortho-conjugated Texas Red DHPE. [2] In addition, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE-N-(cap biotin) has been used in SLBs partitioned into nanowells to create DNA curtains, which can be used as a high-throughput tool for detection of protein-DNA interactions at the single molecule level.[3]
L-778123 is an inhibitor of FPTase and GGPTase-I, which was developed in part because it can completely inhibit Ki-Ras prenylation. The combination of L-778,123 and radiotherapy at dose level 1 showed acceptable toxicity in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Radiosensitization of a patient-derived pancreatic cancer cell line was observed.
