Description: Ursolic acid, a naturally occurring triterpenoid, induces the apoptosis of human cancer cells through multiple signaling pathways.
In Vivo: UA significantly suppressed prostate tumor growth in nude mice without any significant decrease in body weight. The systemic bioavailability of UA in serum samples obtained from nude mice. UA was detected in all serum samples 24 h after last injection. Systemic bioavailability of UA was in nanogram range and metabolites of UA were not detected in the samples. These results indicate that UA is well absorbed in the mouse peritoneum and supports the role of UA as a potent compound for chemoprevention and therapy of prostate cancer. [3]
In Vitro: Ursolic acid is important in the induction of apoptosis via AKT/NF-κB signaling suppression in T24 human bladder cancer cells and this occurs in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, Akt and NF-κB are potential targets for bladder cancer therapy and ursolic acid may serve as a naturally-occurring candidate drug for the prevention and treatment of bladder cancer.[1]Ursolic acid induce apoptosis via inhibition of NF-κB induced BCl-2 mediated anti-apoptotic pathway leading to activation of p53 induced and caspase-3 mediated pro-apoptotic pathways.[2]

DC31074 Isopropyl myristate Isopropyl myristate is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid.
DC79609 NCGC00685960 NCGC00685960 is a Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor with an IC50 < 10  nM. NCGC00685960 has potent antitumor activity. NCGC00685960 increases H3K27 trimethylation levels in ovarian cancer cells and inhibits α-SMA expression in NNMT-expressing ovarian fibroblasts. NCGC00685960 reduces 1-MNA levels, reverses SAM and H3K27 hypomethylation and significantly impairs collagen contractility in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). NCGC00685960 can be used for cancers research.
DC77813 Zeltociclib Zeltociclib is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor with antitumor effects.
DC77714 S3226 S3226 is an inhibitor for Na+/H+ exchange subtype 3 (NHE3) with an IC50 of 0.2 µmol/L in rat NHE3 transfected fibroblasts. S3226 exhibits protective activity in rat ischemia-induced acute renal failure models.
DC77822 JNJ-77242113 (Icotrokinr) Icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113, JNJ-2113, PN-235) is an orally available and selective antagonist of the IL-23 receptor. It also inhibits IL-23–induced STAT3 phosphorylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells with an IC50 of 5.6 pM and suppresses IL-23–induced IFN-γ production in NK cells with an IC50 of 18.4 pM. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in a TNBS-induced colitis model in rats and holds potential for studying psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
DC75868 AZ14133346 AZ14133346 (compound 36) is a potent and selective inhibitor of EGFR Exon20 insertions, with the IC50 of 85 nM. AZ14133346 plays an important role in cancer research.
DC75865 TI17 ​​TI17​​ represents a novel class of targeted anticancer agents that specifically disrupt DNA damage repair mechanisms in malignant cells.
DC75816 Nisoxetine Nisoxetine acts as a highly selective and potent noradrenaline transporter (NET) antagonist, exhibiting a binding affinity (Kd) of 0.76 nM. In addition to its antidepressant properties, nisoxetine functions as a local anesthetic by inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels. This dual pharmacological activity makes it a compound of interest for both neurological and pain management research.
DC75641 GENZ-644282 TFA salt Genz-644282, also known as SAR402674, is a non-camptothecin inhibitor of topoisomerase I with potential antineoplastic activity. Topoisomerase I inhibitor Genz-644282 binds to and inhibits the enzyme topoisomerase I, which may result in the inhibition of repair of single-strand DNA breaks, DNA replication, and tumor cell growth in susceptible tumor cell populations.
DC75345 Sitagliptin Phosphate Monohydrate Sitagliptin, also known as MK-0431, is a potent inhibitor of DPP4 with an IC50 of 19 nM in Caco-2 cell extracts. Sitagliptin is believed to exert its actions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones. By increasing and prolonging active incretin levels, sitagliptin increases insulin release and decreases glucagon levels in the circulation in a glucose-dependent manner. Sitagliptin demonstrates selectivity for DPP-4 and does not inhibit DPP-8 or DPP-9 activity in vitro at concentrations approximating those from therapeutic doses.
