It also suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by inducing the expression of p21, an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase activity in p53-mediated cell cycle arrest.

CAM 833 is an effective orthosteric inhibitor of the BRCA2-RAD51 interaction, inhibiting RAD51 aggregation, enhancing DNA damage-induced apoptosis, increasing 4N cell cycle arrest, and disrupting homologous DNA repair (HDR), and can be used for cancer therapy.

PI3K Akt mTOR-IN-2 is a potent PI3K AKT mTOR inhibitor with anticancer effects and selectivity for MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50 2.29 μM). It induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells.

MC2590 is a potent and selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that inhibits HDAC1-3, -6, -8, and -10 activities, induces cell cycle arrest, and promotes apoptosis.

Tubulin inhibitor 32 is an orally active novel microtubule inhibitor with antiproliferative and antitumor activity, inhibits microtubule polymerization, induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase.

SMBA1 is a highly potent Bax agonist with antitumor activity that induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in malignant glioma cells. SMBA1 can be used to study triple-negative breast cancer.

Chlorambucil (CB-1348) is an orally-active antineoplastic aromatic nitrogen mustard. Chlorambucil alkylates and cross-links DNA during all phases of the cell cycle, resulting in disruption of DNA function, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis.

Cytarabine (Ara-C) is a nucleoside analog, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis (IC50=16 nM). Cytarabine inhibits DNA polymerase and induces cell cycle arrest, autophagy, and apoptosis. Cytarabine has antitumor activity.
