Glucose transporter 1 (Glut1) is an inducible carrier of pentoses and hexoses, including glucose. STF-31 is an inhibitor of Glut1 (IC50 = ~1 µM) that blocks glucose uptake. It induces necrosis in cancer cells that lack the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene, which overexpress Glut1. Although STF-31 binds Glut1,...

Atazanavir is an azapeptide inhibitor of HIV-1 protease (Ki = 2.66 nM). It has antiviral activity against a variety of HIV-1 strains in several cell types with EC50 values ranging from 2.62 to 5.28 nM. Atazanavir exhibits a minor synergistic effect when used in combination with the reverse transcriptase inhibitor...

UR-144 (Cay-11502) is a potent synthetic cannabinoid (CB) which preferentially binds the peripheral CB2 receptor (Ki = 1.8 nM) over the central CB1 receptor (Ki = 150 nM). UR-144 N-pentanoic acid metabolite is an expected phase I metabolite of UR-144, based on the metabolism of similar cannabimimetics. This...

Temoporfin is a synthetic chlorin with light-activated actions. When administered systemically, temoporfin accumulates in tumor cells. When stimulated with light (650-652 nm) in the presence of oxygen, reactive oxygen species are generated, leading to necrosis within the tumor. Different approaches to using...

Quinacrine analog 34 is an inhibitor of autophagy with a minimum effective concentration (MEC) of 0.5 µM in U2OS cells. It induces lysosomal deacidification and accumulation of LC3-II in the same cells when used at concentrations of 0.5 or 3 µM.Formal Name:...
