NF-κB-IN-19 (Compound 8) is an NF-κB inhibitor. It effectively induces DNA damage in tumor cells through the NF-κB signaling pathway and promotes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as induces autophagy and apoptosis. Additionally, NF-κB-IN-19 inhibits levels of VEGF and HIF-1α, exerting antiproliferative effects in tumor cells through the PI3K AKT and STAT-3 pathways. It is also effective in overcoming cisplatin resistance and exhibits antitumor activity.

UNBS-1450 is a sodium channel antagonist. UNBS-1450 is a hemi-synthetic cardenolide derived from 2″-oxovorusharin, it is effective against various cancer cell types with an excellent differential toxicity. At low nanomolar concentrations, UNBS-1450 induce

α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a 13-amino acid peptide hormone produced by post-translational processing of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in the pituitary gland, as well as in keratinocytes, astrocytes, monocytes, and gastrointestinal cells.1It is an agonist of melanocortin receptor 3 (MC3R) and MC4R that induces cAMP production in Hepa cells expressing the human receptors (EC50s = 0.16 and 56 nM, respectively).2α-MSH (100 pM) reducesS. aureuscolony formation andC. albicansgerm tube formationin vitro.3It inhibits endotoxin-, ceramide-, TNF-α-, or okadaic acid-induced activation of NF-κB in U937 cells.1α-MSH reduces IL-6- or TNF-α-induced ear edema in mice.4It also prevents the development of adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats and increases survival in a mouse model of septic shock. Increased plasma levels of α-MSH are positively correlated with delayed disease progression and reduced death in patients with HIV.1 1.Catania, A., Airaghi, L., Colombo, G., et al.α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in normal human physiology and disease statesTrends Endocrinol.

SMU127 is an agonist of the toll-like receptor 1 2 (TLR1 2) heterodimer.

Avenanthramide-C methyl ester inhibits NF-κB activation by blocking the phosphorylation of IKK and IκB (IC50 ~ 40 μM), thereby dose-dependently inhibiting the expression and secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 in human aortic endothelial cells.

Streptazolin is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from S. viridochromogenes. It increases NF-κB activity when used at concentrations ranging from 60 to 130 μg/ml, at least in part, via PI3K signaling. Streptazolin enhances TNF-α secretion induced by LPS and enhances IL-8 secretion when used alone or in combination with LPS in THP-1 Blue cells.

ACAT-IN-8 (example 206) is a compound that inhibits acyl-Coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), an enzyme involved in cholesterol modulation, and also inhibits NF-κB-mediated transcription.

Sulconazole is an imidazole compound with effective antifungal effect. Sulconazole vs. NF- κ B IL-8 signal pathway has blocking effect and inhibiting effect on the formation of cancer stem cells (CSC). Sulconazole has inhibitory effect on tumor growth, which can be used in breast cancer research.

SB-284851-BT is a chemical compound that serves as an inhibitor of BRD4, p38α, and BRDT, exhibiting varying degrees of affinity and inhibition for each. Specifically, it inhibits BRD4-BD1 with an IC50 value of 1.7 µM, p38α with a Kd of 0.47 nM, BRDT (1) with an IC50 value of 18 µM, and BRD4 (1) with an IC50 value of 3.7 µM. By targeting p38α, SB-284851-BT effectively reduces IL-8 production and, through inhibiting BRD4, down-regulates both the c-Myc and NF-κB gene pathways, crucial in cancer pathways. Additionally, SB-284851-BT is designed to combine with the bromine domain and extra terminal (BET) proteins.

NCI 126224, a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist, demonstrates selective inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 macrophages, triggered by the TLR4 agonist LPS (IC50 = 0.31 µM), as opposed to minimal effects on NO production induced by agonists for TLR7/8 (R-848), TLR1/2 (Pam3CSK4), and TLR3 (poly(I:C)). Nevertheless, it also effectively inhibits NO production initiated by the TLR2/6 agonist FSL-1 at an IC50 of 0.6 µM in the same cell line. Moreover, NCI 126224 suppresses LPS-induced NF-κB activity in BV-2 microglial cells and reduces LPS-triggered increases in IL-1β and TNF-α levels in RAW 264.7 macrophages with IC50 values of 5.92, 0.42, and 1.54 µM, respectively.
