Bortezomib (LDP 341) is a 20S proteasome inhibitor (Ki=0.6 nM) that is reversible and selective. Bortezomib has antitumor activity and inhibits NF-κB, which can disrupt the cell cycle and induce apoptosis.

5-Aminosalicylic Acid (5-ASA) is an anti-inflammatory agent, structurally related to the SALICYLATES, which is active in INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE. It is considered to be the active moiety of SULPHASALAZINE.

Nimbolide suppresses CDK4 CDK6 kinase activity. Nimbolide inhibits the NF-κB, Wnt, PI3K-Akt, MAPK, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Nimbolide causes apoptosis through the inactivation of NF-κB. Nimbolide is a triterpene derived from the leaves and flowers

JSH-23 is an NF-κB inhibitor that inhibits NF-κB transcriptional activity (IC50=7.1 μM) but does not affect IκBα degradation. JSH-23 is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory activity.

Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a member of the phorbol ester group of natural products, activates PKC, SphK, and NF-κB, and induces THP1 cell differentiation.

DMAPT (Dimethylamino Parthenolide) is an orally active NF-κB inhibitor and a Parthenolide (PTL) analogue with an LD50 value of 1.7 μM for primary acute myeloid leukemia cells. It has potential anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects.

CPS-11 (N-(Hydroxymethyl)thalidomide) is a Thalidomide analogue with significant antitumor activity, exhibiting a broader and more potent effect on the MM (multiple myeloma) cell line.

α-Lipoic Acid (DL-α-Lipoic acid) an octanoic acid bridged with two sulfurs so that it is sometimes also called a pentanoic acid in some naming schemes. It is biosynthesized by cleavage of LINOLEIC ACID and is a coenzyme of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (KETOGLUTARATE DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX). It is used in DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS.

Sodium salicylate (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid sodium salt), a metabolite of acetylsalicylic acid, can inhibit NF-kB and reduce oxidative stress.

Lidocaine (Alphacaine) is an amide local anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. It has this functions perhaps due to an attenuation of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduction of neutrophils influx.

Oxaprozin (Oxaprozinum) is a Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug. The mechanism of action of oxaprozin is as a Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor. The chemical classification of oxaprozin is Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Compounds.

Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) is a synthetic salicylic acid derivative with affinity for elastin-containing connective tissues and formulated as a prodrug. Sulfasalazine induces iron death and inhibits NF-κB, TGF-β and COX-2.

Dexamethasone acetate (NSC 39471) is the acetate salt form of Dexamethasone, a synthetic adrenal corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to binding to specific nuclear steroid receptors, dexamethasone also interferes with NF-kB activation and apoptotic pathways. This agent lacks the salt-retaining properties of other related adrenal hormones.

Lidocaine hydrochloride (Lignocaine hydrochloride) is a local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmic agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.

Erdosteine (RV 144) is a homocysteine-derived thiol derivative with mucolytic and free radical scavenging properties. Erdosteine and its metabolites modulate mucus production and viscosity, by which facilitating mucociliary transport and improving expectoration. This agent also suppresses the chemical-induced cough reflex as well as protects lung tissues from damages caused by cigarette smoking mediated through free radicals scavenging.

Guaiacol (2-Methoxyphenol) is a precursor to various flavorants, such as eugenol and vanillin. Its derivatives are used medicinally as an expectorant, antiseptic, and local anesthetic. It also can be used as an indicator in chemical reactions that produce oxygen. When oxygen binds to it, the complex turns yellowish brown and absorbs light maximally at about 470 nm.

Urolithin B is one of the gut microbial metabolites of ellagitannins and is found in diverse plant foods, including pomegranates, berries, walnuts, tropical fruits, and medicinal herbs. Urolithin B inhibits NF-κB activity by reducing the phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα, and suppresses the phosphorylation of JNK, ERK, and Akt, and enhances the phosphorylation of AMPK. Urolithin B is also a regulator of skeletal muscle mass. Urolithin B has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Quinoclamine is a naphthoquinone derivative and is an NF-κB inhibitor.

Parthenolide ((-)-Parthenolide) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone that is an NF-κB inhibitor and also specifically inhibits HDAC1 protein, but is inactive against other class I II HDACs. Parthenolide has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-viral activities.

Sinomenine (Kukoline) is a pure alkaloid isolated from the Sinomenium acutum, is utilized in the treatment of rheumatism and arthritis.

Sarsasapogenin (Parigenin) is a steroidal sapogenin, that is the aglycosidic portion of a plant saponin. It is named after sarsaparilla (Smilax sp.), a family of climbing plants found in subtropical regions. It was one of the first sapogenins to be identified, and the first spirostan steroid to be identified as such.

Naringin dihydrochalcone (Naringin DC) is an inhibitor of CYP enzymes, used as an artificial sweetener.

Baicalin (Baicalein 7-O-β-D-glucuronide) is a prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor isolated from scutellaria baicalensis, with antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-HIV properties.

Ginsenoside Rg1 (Panaxoside Rg1) is a class of steroid glycosides, and triterpene saponins found exclusively in the plant genus Panax (ginseng). It improves spatial learning and increase hippocampal synaptophysin level in mice, plus demonstrates estrogen-like activity.
