FiVe1 is a vimentin binding small molecule that promotes the disintegration and phosphorylation of vimentin in the metaphase, leading to mitotic disasters, polynuclearization, and loss of cancer cell dryness. FiVe1 selectively and irreversibly inhibit the growth of mesenchymal transformed breast cancer cells (FOXC2-HMLER cell, IC50=234nM) and soft tissue sarcomas of different histological subtypes.

Praziquantel (Droncit) increases the permeability of the tegument of susceptible worms, resulting in an influx and increase in intra-tegumental calcium leading to rapid contractions and paralysis of the worm's musculature through a subsequent increase in levels of calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Praziquantel is a pyrazinoisoquinoline derivative with anthelminthic property. In addition, vacuolization of the tegumental syncytium and blebbing results in tegument disintegration, leads to antigen exposure and elicit host defense responses to the worm.

Tinoridine hydrochloride (Y-3642 hydrochloride) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Tinoridine hydrochloride (5-100 μM), produced a concentration-dependent inhibition on the simultaneous increases in lipid peroxide formation and renin release induced by 50 μM ascorbic acid in the renin granule fraction. On the other hand, indomethacin, hydrocortisone, and prednisolone, which had no ability to inhibit the lipid peroxidation in the renin granule fraction, did not influence the release of renin from the granules. These results suggest that tinoridine suppresses renin release by inhibiting the oxidative disintegration of membranes of renin granules.

Diallyl Trisulfide is an organic polysulfide compound found in garlic that acts as an H2S donor.

Temporin SHF is an antimicrobial peptide with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and yeast, and is non-hemolytic. Its mechanism of action is to disrupt the accumulation of acyl chains in the anionic lipid bilayer of microorganisms, resulting in the formation and disintegration of microbial membrane cracks. This compound has application potential in antibacterial development.
