cp-21

CP21 is an iron chelator that binds to iron in a 3:1 (ligand:iron) ratio. It is active against P. falciparum when used at concentrations of 10 and 100 µM. CP21 inhibits production of prostaglandin I2 induced by epinephrine, arachidonic acid, or A23187 in isolated rat aortic rings with IC50 values of 1.3, 1.3, and 1.4 mM, respectively. It inhibits glutamate-induced oxytosis, as well as decreases iodoacetic acid-induced cytotoxicity in an in vitro model of ischemia, in HT22 mouse hippocampal cells (EC50s = 13 and 9.5 µM, respectively). CP21 (200 mg kg) increases the excretion of iron, but not copper, zinc, calcium, or magnesium, in rabbits.

Erlotinib-13C6 (CP-358774-13C6) is a 13C-labeled Erlotinib. Erlotinib is a directly acting EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with an IC50 of 2 nM for human EGFR[1]. Erlotinib reduces EGFR autophosphorylation in intact tumor cells with an IC50 of 20 nM. Erlotinib is used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer[1].Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process[2].

CP21R7 (CP21) is an effective and specific GSK3β inhibitor. It is used as an activator of stem cells prior to the induction of differentiation of stem cells to smooth muscle and endothelial cells. CP21R7 can be combined with BMP4 to commit human pluripotent stem cells to a mesodermal fate.

CP-609754 (LNK-754) is a potent and reversible farnesyltransferase inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. It inhibits farnesylation of recombinant human H-Ras (IC50=0.57 ng mL) and K-Ras (IC50=46 ng mL)[1]. In 3T3 H-ras (61L)-transfected cell lines, CP-609754 exhibits a slow on off rate, inhibiting mutant H-Ras farnesylation with an IC50 of 1.72 ng mL[1]. The compound is competitive for the prenyl acceptor (H-Ras protein) and noncompetitive for the prenyl donor farnesyl PPI, selectively inhibiting farnesylation of both H- and K-Ras proteins in 3T3 transfectants[1]. In vivo, CP-609754 shows antitumor activity against 3T3 H-ras (61L) tumors, with tumor regression achieved at 100 mg kg twice daily and an ED50 for tumor growth inhibition at 28 mg kg[1]. Continuous i.p. infusion of CP-609754 inhibits tumor growth by over 50% and reduces tumor farnesyltransferase activity by over 30% when plasma concentration is maintained above 118 ng mL[1]. [1].
