LH1306 is an inhibitor of the interaction between programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 that has an IC50 value of 25 nM in a homologous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) assay.1 It increases the activation of Jurkat cells expressing PD-1 in co-culture with U2OS or CHO cells expressing PD-L1 (EC50s = 334 and 4,214 nM, respectively, in reporter assays). |1.

YW3-56 is an inhibitor of protein arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) and PAD4 (IC50s = 0.5-1 and 1-5 μM, respectively).1It inhibits the growth of U2OSosteosarcoma cells (IC50= ~2.5 μM) in a p53-dependent mannerviainduction of SESN2 and subsequent inhibition of mTORC1. YW3-56 (10 mg kg) reduces tumor growth in an S-180 murine sarcoma tumor model. It also inhibits tumor growth in the 1883 MDA-MB-231 breast cancer bone metastasis mouse xenograft model.2 1.Wang, Y., Li, P., Wang, S., et al.Anticancer peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) inhibitors regulate the autophagy flux and the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 activityThe Journal of Biological Chemisty287(31)25941-25952(2012) 2.Wang, S., Chen, X.A., Hu, J., et al.ATF4 gene network mediates cellular response to the anticancer PAD inhibitor YW3-56 in triple-negative breast cancer cellsMol.

MPS1 TTK inhibitor is an inhibitor of monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1 TTK; IC50 = 5.8 nM), a kinase involved in mitotic spindle checkpoint signaling that is overexpressed in certain cancerous tumors. It inhibits MPS1 phosphorylation of kinetochore scaffold 1 (KNL1) and increases the rate of mitosis and the number of cells entering anaphase within 15 minutes, indicating MPS1 checkpoint inhibition, when used at a concentration of 100 nM. MPS1 TTK inhibitor (50 and 100 nM) increases the number of missegregated chromosomes, with an increased number of errors at 100 nM compared with 50 nM. It also inhibits colony formation of DLD1, HCT116, and U2OS cells (IC50s = 24.6, 20.1, and 20.6 nM, respectively).
