PF-06807656 is insensitive to the introduction of the N171D mutation in the ROMK conduction pore that greatly diminishes the activity of other small-moleculeinhibitors. PF-06807656 is an effective ROMK inhibitor (Tl+ flux IC50 = 160 nM).
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a thiol-sensitive zinc-metallopeptidase that acts as the major insulin-degrading protease in vivo, mediating the termination of insulin signaling. [1] In addition to regulating insulin action in diabetes pathogenesis, IDE plays a role in Varicella-Zoster virus infection and degradation of amyloid-β, a peptide implicated in Alzheimer's disease. ML-345 is a smallmolecule inhibitor that selectively targets cysteine819 in IDE with an EC50 value of 188 nM. [2] It demonstrates 10-fold selectivity for IDE over a panel of enzymes with reactive cysteine residues.[2] Reference:[1]. Maianti, J.P., McFedries, A., Foda, Z.H., et al.

Pantothenate Kinase Inhibitor (PANKi) is a reversible inhibitor of pantothenate kinase (PanK; IC50s = 70, 92, and 25 nM for PanK1β, PanK2, and PanK3, respectively), the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of coenzyme A .1It binds to the ATP-PanK3 complex with an apparent binding constant of 300 nM and exhibits mixed-type inhibition with respect to ATP and pantothenate. PANKi inhibits CoA biosynthesis in C3A cells (IC50= 0.9 μM) with no effect on cell viability when used at concentrations up to 8 μM. PANKi (5 μM) synergizes with BSO to induce ferroptosis in PANC-1 cells and sensitizes the cells to imidazole ketone erastin-induced ferroptosis.2 1.Sharma, L.K., Leonardi, R., Lin, W., et al.A high-throughput screen reveals new small-molecule activators and inhibitors of pantothenate kinasesJ.

Talabostat (PT100, Val-boroPro) is a potent, nonselective and orally available dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor with a Ki of 0.18 nM. Talabostat is a nonselective DPP-IV inhibitor, inhibiting DPP8/9, FAP, DPP2 and some other DASH family enzymes essentially as potently as it inhibits DPP-IV[1]. Talabostat stimulates the immune system by triggering a proinflammatory form of cell death in monocytes and macrophages known as pyroptosis. The inhibition of two serine proteases, DPP8 and DPP9, activates the proprotein form of caspase-1 independent of the inflammasome adaptor ASC[2]. Talabostat competitively inhibits the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) activity of FAP and CD26/DPP-IV, and there is a high-affinity interaction with the catalytic site due to the formation of a complex between Ser630/624 and the boron of talabostat[3]. Talabostat can stimulate immune responses against tumors involving both the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system. In WEHI 164 fibrosarcoma and EL4 and A20/2J lymphoma models, PT-100 causes regression and rejection of tumors. The antitumor effect appears to involve tumor-specific CTL and protective immunological memory. Talabostat treatment of WEHI 164-inoculated mice increases mRNA expression of cytokines and chemokines known to promote T-cell priming and chemoattraction of T cells and innate effector cells[3]. Talabostat treated mice show significant less fibrosis and FAP expression is reduced. Upon PT100 treatment, significant differences in the MMP-12, MIP-1α, and MCP-3 mRNA expression levels in the lungs are also observed. Treatment with PT100 in this murine model of pulmonary fibrosis has an anti-fibro-proliferative effect and increases macrophage activation[4]. [1]. Connolly BA, et al.
