Decursin has anti-cancer activity , mediated suppression of the PKCα, MAPK and NF-κB pathways in MCF-7 cells. 4. Decursin exhibits cytotoxicity against various human cancer cells and to possess anti-amnesic activity in vivo through the inhibition of AChE activity.

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent type of anti-tumor drug, and its main target is DNA. Cyclophosphamide inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells by undergoing alkylation reactions with DNA, interfering with the replication and transcription processes of DNA.

Tamoxifen is an orally active selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that acts as an estrogen antagonist in breast cells and an agonist in bone, liver, and uterine cells. It can be used to induce gene knockout and liver injury models in mice, and also exhibits multiple biological activities, including activation of Hsp90, induction of autophagy and apoptosis, and inhibition of EBOV and MARV viral infections.

PX-478 is a HIF-1α inhibitor with selectivity, oral activity, and blood-brain barrier permeability. PX-478 has antitumor activity and also protects pancreatic β-cell function in diabetes mellitus and is used in type 2 diabetes mellitus research.

Topotecan hydrochloride (NSC609699) is an antineoplastic agent used to treat ovarian cancer.

Lithocholic acid (3α-Hydroxy-5β-cholanic acid) is a toxic secondary bile acid, They were FXR antagonists (IC50=0.7, 1.4 μM), EphA2 antagonists (IC50=48, 66 μM) and EphB4 antagonists (IC50=141 μM). Lithocholic acid can promote intrahepatic cholestasis and promote tumorigenesis. Lithocholic acid is a cleanser that dissolves fat for absorption and is itself absorbed.

Tubulin Inhibitor 11 is a potent, orally active agent that inhibits tubulin by targeting the Colchicine binding site. It impedes tubulin polymerization, leading to mitotic blockade and apoptosis.

4-Methoxycinnamyl alcohol showed toxicity to MCF-7, HeLa and DU145 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 14.24, 7.82 and 22.10 μg/mL, respectively. 4-Methoxycinnamyl alcohol was isolated from Foeniculum vulgare. 4-Methoxycinnamyl alcohol did not show apoptotic effects but showed necrosis after 48 h in a 10 μg/mL DNA fragmentation study.

Ecteinascidin 770 inhibits SARS-CoV-2 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis by inhibiting cancer cell viability through RDRP1 (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 1).

EL-102 is a HIF1α inhibitor with anticancer activity that inhibits microtubule protein polymerization and can be used to study prostate cancer.

FX-11 (LDHA Inhibitor FX11) is A potent, selective and competitive specific inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) with a Ki of 8 μM. FX-11 can activate PKM2 (pyruvate kinase M2). FX-11 can reduce ATP levels, induce oxidative stress and ROS production, and cause cell death. FX-11 appeared antitumor activity during xenotransplantation of lymphoma and pancreatic cancer.

Everolimus (SDZ-RAD) is a potent mTOR inhibitor that binds to FKBP-12. It is used alone or in combination with calcineurin inhibitors.

Tanespimycin (KOS 953) is an Hsp90 inhibitor (IC50=5 nM) and is selective. Tanespimycin depletes intracellular STK38/NDR1 and decreases STK38 kinase activity. Tanespimycin also downregulated stk38 gene expression.

TAK1 inhibitor is an inhibitor, which can inhibit MCF-7, A549, DU-145 and MDA MB-231, with IC50 of 0.021, 0.14, 0.064 and 0.19, respectively. TAK1 inhibitor showed good antibacterial activity with microphones ranging from 93.7 to 46.9μg/mL and from 7.8 to 5.8μg/mL.
