Pelcitoclax, also known as APG 1252 and BM1251, is a potent and selective Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor. APG-1252 A Bcl-2 homology (BH)-3 mimetic and selective inhibitor of the anti-apoptotic proteins B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-XL, with potential pro-apoptotic and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor APG-1252 specifically binds to and inhibits the activity of the pro-survival proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. This restores apoptotic processes and inhibits cell proliferation in Bcl-2/Bcl-XL-dependent tumor cells.
H2-Gamendazole is a derivative of Lonidamine that reduces cyst formation in polycystic kidney disease and is used in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease research.
