Programmed cell death in bacteria is dependent on a system of cell-to-cell communication termed quorum sensing. Extracellular death factor (EDF) is a linear pentapeptide that communicating cells produce and release, which upon reaching a sufficient concentration activates the cell death pathway in a subset of cells. It is sensitive to extreme pH, high temperatures, and other stressful conditions. At 2.5 ng/ml, EDF has been shown to facilitate mazEF-mediated cell death, significantly reducing population size in E. coli cultures.

Extracellular Death Factor TFA (EDF TFA) is a linear pentapeptide that is produced and released by communicating cells and activates cell death pathways in cellular subpopulations when sufficient concentrations are reached.EDF TFA is sensitive to extreme pH, high temperatures, and other stressful conditions. At a concentration of 2.5 ng ml, EDF has been shown to promote mazeEF (toxin-antitoxin system within bacteria) mediated cell death, promote the endonuclease activity of MazF toxin, lead to degradation of bacterial mRNA, and significantly reduce population size in E. coli cultures.

Sorafenib (Bay 43-9006) is a multikinase inhibitor that targets Raf-1, B-Raf, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, VEGFR4, PDGFRβ, FLT3, c-Kit, and others (IC50=6 22 90 15 20 20 57 58 nM) with oral activity. It exhibits antitumor properties and can induce autophagy, apoptosis, and agonistic iron death.

Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) is a DNA alkylating agent, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Oxaliplatin causes DNA cross-linking damage, preventing DNA replication and transcription and leading to cell death. Oxaliplatin induces autophagy.

Erastin is an iron death activator that acts on the mitochondrial VDAC in a ROS- and iron-dependent manner. Erastin has anti-tumor activity and acts selectively on tumor cells with RAS-carcinogenic mutations.

Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a natural product and a microtubule polymer stabilizer. Paclitaxel has anti-tumor activity and causes cell death by inducing mitotic arrest, apoptosis, and cell autophagy.

FX-11 (LDHA Inhibitor FX11) is A potent, selective and competitive specific inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) with a Ki of 8 μM. FX-11 can activate PKM2 (pyruvate kinase M2). FX-11 can reduce ATP levels, induce oxidative stress and ROS production, and cause cell death. FX-11 appeared antitumor activity during xenotransplantation of lymphoma and pancreatic cancer.

BMS-202 (PD1-PDL1 inhibitor 2) is an inhibitor of the PD-1 (Programmed death- 1) PD-Ll (Programmed death-ligand 1) protein protein interaction.

BMS-1 (PD-1 PD-L1 inhibitor 1) is an inhibitor of the PD1-PD-L1 protein-protein interaction. It also acts as an immunomodulator. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a protein in humans that is encoded by the CD274 gene and the upregulation of PD-L1 allows Ys to evade the host immune system. High tumor expression of PD-L1 was associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and a 4.5-fold increased risk of death.

Necrostatin-5 (Nec-5) is a selective RIP1 kinase inhibitor and cell necrosis inhibitor that prevents the death of Fadd-deficient Jurkat cells treated with TNF-α, with an EC50 of 240 nM.

Polyphyllin D induces apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway as evidenced by decreased Bcl-2 expression levels, disruption of MMP and increased Bax, cytochrome C, and cleaved-caspase-3 levels. Polyphyllin D has an anti-angiogenic effect. Polyphyllin D has toxicity in human RBCs as well as its underlying mechanism for the hemolysis and eryptosis erythroptosis. Polyphyllin D has strong anticancer activity, can overcome drug resistance in R-HepG2 cells and elicit programmed cell death via mitochondrial dysfunction.

CBL0137 hydrochloride (Curaxin-137 hydrochloride) is an inhibitor of the histone chaperone FACT, which also activates p53 and inhibits NF-κB with EC50 values ​​of 0.37 and 0.47 μM, respectively. CBL0137 hydrochloride functionally inactivates the complex that promotes chromatin transcription (FACT), thereby driving effects on p53 and NF-κB and promoting cancer cell death, and when used in combination with cisplatin, CBL0137 hydrochloride has potent anticancer activity against SCLC.

Elesclomol (STA-4783) is an oxidative stress inducer and a highly lipophilic copper ion carrier. Elesclomol induces apoptosis in tumor cells and is used in copper death related studies. Elesclomol also inhibits FDX1-mediated Fe-S cluster biosynthesis.

Talazoparib (LT-673) is a new-type PARP inhibitor (IC50: 0.58 nM), It similarly binds to PARP1 2 (Kis: 1.2 0.85 nM).

PD-1-IN-17 is an inhibitor of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1). PD-1-IN-17 inhibits 92% splenocyte proliferation at 100 nM.

PD-1-IN-22 is a potent inhibitor of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) interaction, with an IC50 of 92.3 nM.

RH01386 is a small molecule that prevents ER stress-induced β cell dysfunction and death, inhibits proapoptotic gene expression, and restores ER stress-impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion responses, showing potential for type 2 diabetes treatment.

Sulfo-ara-F-NMN is an analogue of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) with cellular permeability. Sulfo-ara-F-NMN was selective to activate SARM1 and inhibited CD38 with an IC50 of about 10 μM. Activation by Sulfo-ara-F-NMN to Z-48 or NMN, which has a higher cyclase activity, causes conformational changes in SARM1, resulting in cADPR production, NAD depletion, and non-apoptotic cell death.

PAF-AN-1 is a novel potent platelet-activating factor receptor (PAF) antagonist involved in the study of anaphylactic death.

S-2474, an inhibitor of COX-2 and 5-lipoxygenase, has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities and inhibits Abeta (25 - 35) and Abeta (1 - 40) induced cell death.
