Estramustine (LEO-275) is a nitrogen mustard linked to estradiol, usually as phosphate. Estramustine has been used to treat prostatic neoplasms; also has radiation protective properties. Estramustine is selectively taken up by prostate cells and exerts antineoplastic effects by interfering with microtubule of dynamics and by reducing plasma levels of testosterone.

Bexarotene (LGD1069) is a retinoid analogue that is used to treat the skin manifestations of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL).

Cisplatin (CDDP) is a chemotherapeutic agent with antitumor activity and is a classic DNA crosslinker. It inhibits DNA synthesis and induces DNA damage in cancer cells by forming DNA adducts, ultimately leading to cell death. In addition, Cisplatin can activate ferroptosis and induce autophagy. In animal studies, it is commonly used to establish models of chronic kidney injury and acute renal failure.

Suramin Sodium Salt (BAY-205) is a sodium salt form of suramin, a polysulphonated naphthylurea with potential antineoplastic activity. Suramin blocks the binding of various growth factors, including insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), to their receptors, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration. This agent also inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)- and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis; retroviral reverse transcriptase; uncoupling of G-proteins from receptors; topoisomerases; cellular folate transport; and steroidogenesis.

Penicillamine (Artamine), possessing antineoplastic properties, induces apoptosis by a p53-mediated mechanism and inhibits angiogenesis by chelating with copper, a cofactor for angiogenesis. Artamine is a beta dimethyl analog of the amino acid cysteine. As a degradation product of penicillin antibiotics, Artamine chelates with heavy metals and increases their urinary excretion.

Imatinib Mesylate (STI-571) is a tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor with antineoplastic activity (IC50s: 0.6 μM, 0.1 μM and 0.1 μM for v-Abl, c-Kit and PDGFR, respectively).

Lorlatinib (PF-6463922) is an orally available, ATP-competitive inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and C-ros oncogene 1 (Ros1), with potential antineoplastic activity.

Ivosidenib (AG-120) is an orally available inhibitor of isocitrate dehydrogenase type 1 (IDH1) with potential antineoplastic activity. It specifically inhibits a mutated form of IDH1 in the cytoplasm, preventing the formation of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2 hG), which may induce cellular differentiation and inhibit cellular proliferation in IDH1-expressing tumor cells.

Itacitinib (INCB039110) is an orally bioavailable Janus-associated kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity.

Prexasertib (LY2606368) is a selective checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) inhibitor (Ki 0.9 nM, IC50<1 nM). Prexasertib causes double-stranded DNA breaks and replication mutations, leading to apoptosis. Prexasertib has antitumor activity.

OSI-906 (Linsitinib (OSI-906)) is an orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) with potential antineoplastic activity. Linsitinib selectively inhibits IGF-1R, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. Overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, IGF-1R stimulates cell proliferation, enables oncogenic transformation, and suppresses apoptosis.

6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-nor-Leucine (L-6-Diazo-5-oxonorleucine) is a glutaminase antagonist (Ki: 6 μM) and an antineoplastic antibiotic produced by an unidentified Streptomyces species from Peruvian soil.

1-Acetyl-3-o-toluyl-5-fluorouracil is a potent antineoplastic agent.

Ellipticine (Elliptisine) is a potent antineoplastic agent exhibiting multiple mechanisms of action, IC50 of 0.67±0.06, 1.25±0.13, 1.25±0.13, 0.67±0.06, 0.27±0.02, 0.49±0.04, 0.44±0.03, and 1.48±0.62 μM for Leukemia HL-60, Breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7, Breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7, Leukemia HL-60, Neuroblastoma IMR-32, Neuroblastoma UKF-NB-4, Neuroblastoma UKF-NB-3, and Glioblastoma U87 mg cell, respectively.

Trofosfamide is a derivative of oxazaphosphorine with antineoplastic potency.

AICAR monophosphate (Aica ribonucleotide) is a purine precursor with antineoplastic activity and can be used in studies about type 2 diabetes.

Folitixorin calcium is an antineoplastic enhancing agent.

XL-413 is an orally bioavailable cell division cycle 7 homolog (CDC7) kinase inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. XL-413 binds to and inhibits the activity of CDC7, which may result in the inhibition of DNA replication and mitosis, the induct

Simotaxel is a semi-synthetic, orally bioavailable, third-generation taxane derivative and microtubule-stabilizing agent, with potential antineoplastic activity.

KW-2450 free base is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinases with potential antineoplastic activity. IGF-1R IR inhibitor KW-2450 free base selectively binds to and inhibits the activities of IGF-1R and IR, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. IGF-R1 and IR tyrosine kinases, overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, play significant roles in the stimulation of cellular proliferation, oncogenic transformation, and suppression of apoptosis.
