Isoliquiritigenin is a flavonoid that is found in Glycyrrhizae species and has diverse biological activities including anticancer, anti-steatotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, and estrogenic properties. It reduces tumor growth in an NCI-H1975 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) mouse xenograft...

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) are tyrosine kinases that mediate cytokine signaling and are frequently mutated in cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukemia. Pacritinib is an inhibitor of both FLT3 and JAK2 (IC50s = 22 and 23 nM, respectively). It also blocks the activities of the FLT3...

Ganglioside GD3 is synthesized by the addition of two sialic acid residues to lactosylceramide and can serve as a precursor to the formation of more complex gangliosides by the action of glycosyl- and sialyltransferases. It induces apoptosis in HuT-78 cutaneous T cell lymphoma cells in a concentration-dependent...

Emodin is a naturally-occurring anthraquinone found in a variety of plants used in traditional Chinese medicine. Purified emodin has diverse effects, including the suppression of inflammation, dyslipidemia, and cancer. At a molecular level, emodin directly and selectively inhibits casein kinase II (IC50 = 0.89 µM)....

Dehydroergosterol is a naturally occurring, fluorescent analog of cholesterol (ex/em = 324/375 nm) that mimics the properties of cholesterol in cell membranes. It is readily bound by cholesterol-binding proteins and has been used for real-time probing of the sterol environment and to elucidate intracellular sterol...
