Ibuprofen (Advil) is a propionic acid derivate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. Ibuprofen inhibits the activity of cyclo-oxygenase I and II, resulting in a decreased formation of precursors of prostaglandins and thromboxanes.

Rebamipide (OPC12759) is a quinolinone derivative with anti-ulcer and anti-inflammatory activities. Rebamipide induces cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) synthesis which results in an increase in endogenous prostaglandin synthesis in the gastric mucosa. This agent also inhibits H. pylori-induced production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and subsequent inflammation of the gastric mucosa. In addition, rebamipide scavenges oxygen-derived free radicals that potentially cause mucosal injury, and stimulates prostaglandin EP4 receptor gene expression followed by mucous secretion, thereby enhancing the gastric mucosal defense.

Ramucirumab, a human VEGFR-2 antagonist, is used for the treatment of solid tumors.

EIPA (L593754) is a TRPP3 channel inhibitor (IC50=10.5 μM) and an inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange (NHE). EIPA inhibits megacytosis, promotes autophagy, and can be used in inflammation and tumor studies.

Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody for patients with invasive breast cancers that overexpress HER2. Trastuzumab has been clinically used to treat HER2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer and HER2 Positive Gastric Cancer.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is an antibody-active molecule conjugate (ADC) with anticancer and antitumor activity, which is composed of a monoclonal antibody targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) coupled to a topoisomerase I inhibitor (DXd). Trastuzumab deruxtecan has an improved effect on the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer.

Disitamab vedotin (RC-48) is a newly developed antibody-active molecule conjugate (ADC) targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), consisting of hertuzumab coupled to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a cleavable linker. Disitamab vedotin showed anti-tumor and anti-proliferative activities in gastric cancer cells with different HER-2 expression levels and inhibited the expression of HER-2 protein in gastric cancer cells.

R1498 is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 2. It also acts by targeting angiogenesis and mitosis pathways. It is well-tolerated and orally active for hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancer treatment.

Emitefur (BOF-A 2) is an orally active and potent 5-fluorouracil derivative with anticancer and antitumor activity.Emitefur is used in advanced gastric cancer, breast cancer and metabolism-related diseases.

K00135 (IMIDAZOPYRIDAZIN 1) is a selective inhibitor of Pim kinases and can be used in studies about gastric cancer and antileukemic therapeutics.

Topixantrone 2HCl is a DNA topoisomerase inhibitor with antitumor activity for the study of gastric and prostate cancer.

Famitinib (SHR1020) is a potent orally active multi-targeted kinase inhibitor that effectively inhibits the activity of c-kit, VEGFR-2, and PDGFRβ with IC50 values of 2.3 nM, 4.7 nM, and 6.6 nM, respectively [1]. It demonstrates remarkable antitumor properties in human gastric cancer cells and xenografts, inducing apoptosis [2].

Indomethacin is an orally active nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that non-selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, with IC₅₀ values of 18 nM and 26 nM, respectively. It exhibits good blood-brain barrier permeability and shows significant anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-infective activities. Indomethacin is widely used in research related to cancer, inflammation, and viral infections, and is also commonly used to induce gastric ulcer models in animals.

Levobupivacaine is an amino-amide local anaesthetic drug belonging to the family of n-alkylsubstituted pipecoloxylidide. It is the S-enantiomer of bupivacaine. Levobupivacaine hydrochloride is commonly marketed by AstraZeneca under the trade name Chirocaine. Compared to bupivacaine, levobupivacaine is associated with less vasodilation and has a longer duration of action. It is approximately 13 per cent less potent (by molarity) than racemic bupivacaine.Levobupivacaine is indicated for local anaesthesia including infiltration, nerve block, ophthalmic, epidural and intrathecal anaesthesia in adults; and infiltration analgesia in children. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are rare when it is administered correctly. Most ADRs relate to administration technique (resulting in systemic exposure) or pharmacological effects of anesthesia, however allergic reactions can rarely occur.

N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU/MNU/NMH) is a nitrosourea compound with alkylating, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties; as a direct-acting alkylating agent, it interacts with DNA and targets multiple animal organs to induce various cancers and degenerative diseases, and is commonly used to induce disease models such as gastric cancer and breast cancer in mice.

1. Berberine (Umbellatine) is a potent oral hypoglycemic agent with beneficial effects on lipid metabolism. 2. Berberine may as a broad-spectrum anti-microbial medicine, a complementary therapeutic agent for HIV/AIDS. 3. Berberine seems to act as an herbal antidepressant and a neuroprotector against neurodegenerative disorders. 4. Berberine is used in histology for staining heparin in mast cells. As a natural dye, berberine has a colour index of 7516. 5. Berberine reduces hepatic fat content in rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; also prevents proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which are central for the development of fibrosis during liver injury. 6. Berberine can ameliorate proinflammatory cytokines-induced intestinal epithelial tight junction damage in vitro, and berberine may be one of the targeted therapeutic agents that can restore barrier function in intestinal disease states. 7. Berberine has antineoplastic effects, including breast cancer, leukemia, melanoma, epidermoid carcinoma, hepatoma, pancreatic cancer, oral carcinoma, tongue carcinoma, glioblastoma, prostate carcinoma and gastric carcinoma, etc.

5-Sulfosalicylic acid is a sulfonated salicylic acid derivative used to dope poly(2-chloroaniline)-based highly sensitive label-free electrochemical immunoassay (ECI) for detecting CA72-4, a key gastric cancer biomarker. This compound also demonstrates activity against breast cancer cell lines.
