TPI 287 is a synthetic, third generation taxane with potential antineoplastic activity. TPI 287 binds to tubulin and stabilizes microtubules, resulting in inhibition of microtubule assembly/disassembly dynamics, cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, and apoptosis.
MDK-4823, also known as LMPTP inhibitor1, is a potent low-molecular-weight tyrosine phosphatase (LMPTP) inhibitor. LMPTP is highly expressed in insulin-target tissues. LMPTP promotes diabetes and insulin resistance in obesity.
