Nicotinamide, a vitamin B3 derivative, is an inhibitor of SIRT1 (IC50=50-180 μM) and SIRT2 (IC50=2 μM). Nicotinamide can be used as a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD+, which can be supplemented by dietary intake and can prevent or treat melanoglossia and pellagra.

1. Chelidonine (Stylophorin) isolated from Chelidonium majus efficiently induced apoptosis in HeLa cells through possible alteration of p38-p53 and AKT/PI3 kinase signalling pathways. 2. Chelidonine is a promising model compound for overcoming MDR and for enhancing cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutics, especially against leukaemia cells, its efficacy needs to be confirmed in animal models. 3. Chelidonine may be a potential therapeutic agent against metastasis of invasive human cancer cells, exhibits antimigratory and antiinvasive effects in MDA-MB-231 cells, by suppressing COL-induced integrin signaling, through inhibiting the formation of the IPP complex and subsequent downregulation of IPP downstream signaling molecules, such as Akt and ERK1/2.

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.

Temozolomide (TMZ) is a DNA alkylating agent with blood-brain barrier permeability and oral activity. Temozolomide has antitumor activity and antiangiogenic activity, and also induces apoptosis and autophagy. Temozolomide is stable under acidic conditions and hydrolyzes under neutral or slightly alkaline conditions.

Vorinostat (SAHA) is a pan-histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor (IC50=10 nM) with inhibitory activity against HDAC1/2/3/6/7/11. Vorinostat has antitumor activity, induces cell differentiation, blocks the cell cycle and induces apoptosis.

SKLB-163 acts by downregulating RhoGDI, activating JNK-1 signaling pathway and caspase-3, and reducing phosphorylated Akt and p44/42 MAPK.

Etoposide (VP-16-213) is a topoisomerase II inhibitor that inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA (IC50=60.3 μM). Etoposide has antitumor activity and induces apoptosis and autophagy.

Ursolic acid (Prunol) is a natural product, a pentacyclic triterpene carboxylic acid extracted from Rhododendron caprifolium. Ursolic acid has anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and hypoglycemic activities.

(+)-JQ-1 (JQ1) is a specific, reversible BET bromine domain inhibitor that targets BRD4 (1/2) with IC50 values of 77/33 nM. (+)-JQ-1 induces cell autophagy and inhibits cell proliferation.

Sodium dichloroacetate (BCA) , a specific inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) with IC50 values of 183 and 80 μM for PDK2 and PDK4 respectively, has been shown to derepress a mitochondrial potassium-ion channel axis, trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, and inhibit tumor growth.

Benproperine phosphate (Pirexyl phosphate) is a cough suppressant.

Ribociclib (LEE011) is an orally available, and highly specific CDK4/6 inhibitor (IC50:10/39 nM).

Irinotecan (CPT-11), a derivative of camptothecin, is an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I). Irinotecan has antitumor activity by preventing DNA strand reattachment through binding to the Topo I complex, resulting in double-stranded DNA breaks and cell death.

Mitoxantrone (mitozantrone) is an anthracenedione antibiotic with antineoplastic activity. Mitoxantrone intercalates into and crosslinks DNA, thereby disrupting DNA and RNA replication. This agent also binds to topoisomerase II, resulting in DNA strand breaks and inhibition of DNA repair. Mitoxantrone is less cardiotoxic compared to doxorubicin.

CAY10784 (STAT3-IN-17) is a STAT3 inhibitor with antiproliferative and antitumor activities. CAY10784 showed antibacterial activity against Clostridium difficile.

DMU-212 is a methylated derivative of resveratrol with antimitotic, anti-proliferative, antioxidant, and apoptosis-promoting activities. It induces mitotic arrest, apoptosis, and activation of ERK1/2 protein and has oral activity[1][2]. DMU-212 (0.3125-40 μM) inhibits the growth of human melanoma cells (A375, MeWo, Bro, M5)[1]. At concentrations of 30-50 μM over 24 hours, it upregulates cell cycle inhibitors, induces apoptosis, and activates ERK in A375 cells[1]. DMU-212 also induces G2/M arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells[1]. In a xenograft model of human ovarian cancer with six-week-old SCID female mice (20-24 g), DMU-212 (50 mg/kg, administered orally three times a week for 14 days) inhibits tumor growth[2]. [1]. Vasilis Pericles Androutsopoulos, et al. Activation of ERK1/2 is required for the antimitotic activity of the resveratrol analogue 3,4,5,4'-tetramethoxystilbene (DMU-212) in human melanoma cells.
