MS-275 is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs) that preferentially inhibits HDAC1 (IC50 = 300 nM) over HDAC3 (IC50 = 8 µM). However, it does not inhibit HDAC8 (IC50 > 100 µM). MS-275 induces cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (p21/CIP1/WAF1), slowing cell growth, differentiation, and tumor development in...

STF-62247 is a small molecule agonist that induces autophagy and selectively causes lethality in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells that have lost the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor activity (IC50 = 625 nM). It significantly reduces the growth rate of tumors formed from VHL-deficient cells in mice. STF-62247...

Equol is a nonsteroidal estrogen produced from the metabolism of the isoflavonoid phytoestrogen daidzein by human intestinal microflora. The estrogen receptor (ER) binding activity of the naturally occurring (S)-enantiomer demonstrates greater affinity toward ERbeta while the (R)-enantiomer demonstrates greater...

AZD 7986 is a reversible and covalent inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP-1), also known as cathepsin C (IC50 = 3.9 nM). It is selective for DPP-1 over cathepsins S, -L, -B, -K, -D, -E, -Z, -H, and -G (IC50s = >20 µM for all), as well as a panel of greater than 200 enzymes, receptors, ion channels, and...
