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.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a colorless amine oxide produced from choline, betaine, and carnitine via intestinal microbial metabolism that accumulates in tissues of marine animals and prevents the protein-damaging effects of urea.Trimethylamine N-oxide induces inflammation through activation of ROS NLRP3 inflammasomes, which can induce fibroblast differentiation and cardiac fibrosis.

Gilteritinib (ASP2215) is a potent inhibitor of FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and AXL tyrosine kinase receptors (IC50 = 0.29 nM and <1 nM, respectively). In preclinical studies, gilteritinib demonstrated strong antileukemic and antitumor effects. Gilteritinib is currently in several Phase 3 clinical trials for acute myeloid leukemia.

1. Dehydrocorydaline (13-Methylpalmatine) exerts anti-metastatic potential via suppression of MMPs and Bcl-2 signaling in NSC-LC cells. 2. Dehydrocorydaline stimulates p38 MAPK activation, which can enhance heterodimerization of MyoD and E proteins, thus resulting in MyoD activation and myoblast differentiation. 3. Dehydrocorydaline shows antiplatelet effects, it inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation in a low dose ( IC50= 34.914 ug mL). 4. Dehydrocorydaline has anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects. 5. Dehydrocorydaline inhibits MCF-7 cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis mediated by regulating Bax Bcl-2, activating caspases as well as cleaving PARP.
