BHPI is a potent inhibitor of nuclear estrogen–ERα-regulated gene expression. Elicits sustained ERα-dependent activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) stress sensor, the unfoldedproteinresponse (UPR), and persistent inhibition of protein synthesis.
ML291 is a sufonamidebenzamide compound that induces the unfoldedproteinresponse (UPR) and overwhelms the adaptive capacity of UPR, resulting in apoptosis in various solid cancer models. It activates the PERK eIF2a CHOP apoptotic pathway of UPR and reduces leukemic cell burden [1].
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.

Z36 is a novel Bcl-xL inhibitor, upregulating the expression levels of FAM134B, LC3, and Atg9, inducing autophagy along with autophagic cell death, resulting in ER stress and the unfoldedproteinresponse (UPR).
