Nemorosone is a polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) originally isolated from C. rosea that has antiproliferative properties.1 Nemorosone inhibits growth of NB69, Kelly, SK-N-AS, and LAN-1 neuroblastoma cells (IC50s = 3.1-6.3 μM), including several drug-resistant clones, but not MRC-5 human embryonic fibroblasts (IC50 = >40 μM).2 It increases DNA fragmentation in LAN-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and decreases N-Myc protein levels and phosphorylation of ERK1 2 by MEK1 2. Nemorosone also inhibits growth of Capan-1, AsPC-1, and MIA-PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 4.5-5.0 μM following a 72-hour treatment) but not human dermal and foreskin fibroblasts (IC50s = >35 μM).1 It induces apoptosis, abolishes the mitochondrial membrane potential, and increases cytosolic calcium concentration in pancreatic cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Nemorosone activates the caspase cascade in a dose-dependent manner and inhibits cell cycle progression, increasing the proportion of cells in the G0 G1 phase, in both neuroblastoma and pancreatic cancer cells.1,2 Nemorosone (50 mg kg, i.p., per day) also reduces tumor growth in an MIA-PaCa-2 mouse xenograft model.3References1.

Erlotinib-13C6 (CP-358774-13C6) is a 13C-labeled Erlotinib. Erlotinib is a directly acting EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with an IC50 of 2 nM for human EGFR[1]. Erlotinib reduces EGFR autophosphorylation in intact tumor cells with an IC50 of 20 nM. Erlotinib is used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer[1].Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process[2].

SBI-581 is an orally active, potent selective inhibitor of serine-threonine kinase TAO3, with an IC 50 of 42 nM. It effectively promotes the accumulation of TKS5α at RAB11-positive vesicles and inhibits the formation of invadopodia. Additionally, SBI-581 exhibits reasonable pharmacokinetics in mice when administered via IP injection, demonstrating significant antitumor activity [1].
SC10914 is a highly potent PARP inhibitor (PARP1 IC50 = 7.87 nM) with potent anti-proliferative activity against human BRCA deficient tumor cells (MDA-MB-436, BRCA1 deficient, IC50 = 4.03 nM, Capan-1 BRCA2 deficient, IC50 = 11.66 nM) and PTEN deficient tumor cells (HGC-27,PTEN deficient, IC50 = 0.35 μM). SC10914 showed potent anti-tumor activity in BRCA1 2 mutant tumor models and better pharmacokinetics profile has the potential to be selected as the clinical candidate for the treatment of treatment of BRCA1 2 deficient cancers.
