LBW242 is a 3-mer and Smac mimetic and is an effective and orally active proapoptotic IAP inhibitor. LBW242 has activity against multiple myeloma and potentiates TRAIL- and anticancer drug-mediated cell death of ovarian cancer cells. LBW242 displays effec
Azadirone is a limonoid tetranortriterpene. Azadirone can sensitize cancer cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) through ROS-ERK-CHOP-mediated up-regulation of DR4 and DR5 signaling, down-regulation of cell survival prot
Ganglioside GM3 is a monosialoganglioside that demonstrates antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in tumor cells by modulating cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. It suppresses angiogenesis and reduces proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at a concentration of 20 μM via inhibition of VEGFR2 and Akt phosphorylation. Ganglioside GM3 induces dissociation of the insulin receptor-caveolin-1 complex from lipid microdomains, functioning as an inhibitor of insulin signaling and contributing to insulin resistance in adipocytes. Ganglioside GM3 mixture contains ganglioside GM3 molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 fatty acyl chains.
CAY10503 is a proapoptotic, antiproliferative compound that is able to arrest cell cycle progression in the G0-G1 phase. CAY10503 inhibits the growth of HL60, multidrug resistant HL60R, and K562 cells with IC50 values of 7.0, 23, and 20 μM, respectively. Accumulation of HL60 cells in G0-G1 occurred within eight hours following treatment with 50 μM CAY10503, whereas 10 μM CAY10503 required 96 hours for cell cycle arrest to appear. CAY10503 also induces differentiation of HL60 cells into the following positive cells: CD14 (monocytic marker) as well as CD11b and CD11c (granulocytic markers). Approximately 60% of HL60 cells exposed to 10 μM CAY10503 expressed these markers within 72 hours.
Prodigiosin hydrochloride, a red pigment, is a bioactive secondary metabolite produced by bacteria. It exhibits potent proapoptotic activity and functions as an inhibitor of the Wnt β-catenin pathway. Additionally, this compound possesses antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antimalarial, immunosuppressive, and anticancer properties.
