Vacquinols are a new class of quinine-derivatives that stimulate death in glioblastoma cells by massive macropinocytotic vacuolization, ATP depletion, and cytoplasmic membrane rupture.{26440} A key effector of vacquinols is MAPK kinase 4 (MKK4).{26440} Vacquinol-1 is an activator of MKK4-dependent macropinocytotic cell death in glioblastoma cells.{26440} It induces ATP depletion in glioblastoma cells (IC50 = 3.14 µM at 1 day) without affecting fibroblasts, embryonic stem cells, or osteosarcoma cells.{26440} Vacquinol-1 is orally bioavailable with good brain penetrance and excellent pharmacokinetics.{26440} Oral administration of vacquinol-1 (20 mg/kg once daily for five days) substantially impairs the growth of engrafted glioblastoma cell tumors in mice and prolongs survival.{26440}

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells.

  • A potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM; also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H

    (R)-Roscovitine – 1 mg

    Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}
