High affinity and selective P2Y₁₄ antagonist

4862 | PPTN

K_B = 434 nM. Exhibits >10,000-fold selectivity for P2Y₁₄ over other P2Y receptors. Inhibits UDP-glucose and MRS 2690-induced porcine pancreatic artery contraction ex vivo. Also blocks UDP-glucose-induced chemotaxis of HL-60 leukemia cells in vitro.

Selective mIDH1 inhibitor; phenotypically lethal

5244 | TC-E 5008

K_i = 120-190 nM. Displays >60-fold selectivity for mIDH1 (found in ~75% of gliomas) over wild type IDH1. Also inhibits D-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in cells expressing mIDH1 (EC₅₀ = 2.4 μM). Does not display cytotoxicity towards non-cancerous human cells. Phenotypically lethal.

Potent cdk1/2 inhibitor

5654 | BMS 265246

IC₅₀ values are 6, 9 and 230 nM for cdk1, cdk2 and cdk4, respectively. Inhibits proliferation of HCT-116 colon cancer cells in vitro.

Potent and selective inhibitor of integrins α_vβ₃ and α_vβ₅

5870 | Cilengitide

IC₅₀ values are 4.1 and 70 nM for α_vβ₃ and α_vβ₅, respectively. Exhibits ~10-fold selectivity over gpIIb/IIIa. Increases endothelial monolayer permeability. Also exhibits antiangiogenic activity.

ADAM 17 (TACE) and MMP inhibitor; orally bioavailable

5960 | TMI 1

IC₅₀ values are 3, 4.7, 6.6, 8.4, 12, 26 and 26 nM for MMP-13, MMP-2, MMP-1, ADAM 17, MMP-9, MMP-7 and MMP-14, respectively. Suppresses TNF-α production in an acute LPS-mouse model. Reduces severity score in an in vivo model of rheumatoid arthritis. Displays selective cytotoxicity towards tumor cells and cancer stem cells in vitro. Induces tumor apoptosis in a breast cancer in vivo model. Orally bioavailable.
