Lucidenic acid B (Lucidenicacid B), a natural compound extracted from Ganoderma lucidum, induces activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP, which can induce apoptosis in human leukemia cells through mitochondrial mediation. Lucidenic acid B inhibits PMA-induced invasion of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inactivating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and decreasing the binding activity of NF-kappaB and AP-1. Lucidenic acid B had no effect on cell cycle and necrotic cells.

SCR7, a specific DNA Ligase IV inhibitor, blocks nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ).

Fenbufen (Lederfen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used primarily to treat inflammation in osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and tendinitis. It can also be used to relieve backaches, sprains, and fractures. Fenbufen is available as a capsule or tablet sold with the brand names Cepal, Cinopal, Cybufen, Lederfen, and Reugast. Fenbufen acts by preventing cyclooxygenase from producing prostaglandins which can cause inflammation.

2-methoxycinnamaldehyde is a natural compound of Cinnamomum cassia,has been widely studied with regard to its antitumor activity.

D-Isofloridoside, a polysaccharide precursor, exhibits free radical scavenging activity and inhibits both ROS expression and the enzymes MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser acetate is an integrin binding sequence that directly and specifically bind pro-caspase-8, pro-caspase-9 and pro-caspase-3, while it does not bind pro-caspase-1. Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser acetate inhibits integrin receptor function.

Terfenadine ((±)-Terfenadine) is a prodrug metabolized by intestinal CYP3A4 into fexofenadine, an active selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist that possesses antihistaminic and non-sedative effects.

Uvarigrin induces tumor multidrug resistance cell apoptosis and triggers Caspase-9 activation. Uvarigrin is isolated from the roots of Uvaria calamistrata.

Rimiducid is a lipid-permeable tacrolimus analogue, homodimerizing an analogue of human protein fkbp12 and binding to wild-type fkbp12 with 1000-fold lower affinity. Rimiducid is a dimerizer agent that acts by cross-linking the FKBP domains. It dimerizes the Caspase 9 suicide switch and rapidly induces apoptosis.

ML-9 suppresses MLCK, PKA, and PKC activity with Ki values of 4, 32, and 54 μM, respectively. ML-9 is a selective and effective inhibitor of Akt kinase, inhibits myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK), and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) activity. ML-9 causes autophagy by stimulating autophagosome formation and inhibiting their degradation.

ML132 is an effective and selective inhibitor of caspase 1 (IC50: 0.316 nM).

NVP-231 is a potent, specific and reversible CerK inhibitor(IC50=12±2 nM) that competitively inhibits ceramide binding to CerK.

PARP1-IN-31 (compound 11f) is a PARP1 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 97 nM. It induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in lung cancer cell lines (e.g., A549), while upregulating caspase-3 and caspase-9, making it suitable for lung adenocarcinoma research.

MAPK-IN-3 (Compound 4a) is an antiproliferative agent demonstrating significant inhibitory effects on KYSE 30, HCT 116, and HGC 27 cell lines, with IC50 values of 0.57 μM, 3.27 μM, and 2.28 μM, respectively. This compound arrests the cell cycle via a p53-dependent mechanism and induces apoptosis through a p53-independent pathway. It reduces the expression of cell cycle-related proteins, such as Cyclin D1 and Cyclin B1, while increasing pro-apoptotic proteins like cleaved PARP, cleaved caspase-7, and cleaved caspase-9. MAPK-IN-3 also decreases anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2, elevates ROS levels in KYSE 30 cells, and enhances the expression of ROS-related MAPK pathway members, including p-ERK, p-p38, and p-JNK.
