Trimethoprim (NSC-106568) is a Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitor Antibacterial. The mechanism of action of trimethoprim is as a Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 2C8 Inhibitor, and Organic Cation Transporter 2 Inhibitor.

SD-169 (SD 169) is a selective and ATP competitive the MAP kinases p38α and p38β inhibitor.

Teprenone (Geranylgeranylacetone) is a anti-ulcer drug, and works as an inducer of heat shock proteins (HSPs).

KNK437 (Heat Shock Protein Inhibitor I), a pan-HSP inhibitor, suppresses the synthesis of inducible HSPs(HSP105, HSP72, and HSP40).

Heat shock protein (Hsp) inhibitor II is the active form of Hsp inhibitor I and a benzylidene lactam compound that prevents the synthesis of inducible Hsps, such as Hsp105, Hsp72, and Hsp40. Hsp inhibitor II decreases Hsp72 synthesis in vivo and reduces thermotolerance of tumors in SCC VII tumor-containing mice. At 100 μM, it inhibits the development of thermotolerance in COLO 320 DM cells. Inhibition of Hsp70 with Hsp inhibitor II in combination with amphotericin B increases susceptibility of AmB-susceptible (MICs = 0.058 versus 0.27 μg/ml for combined and AmB alone, respectively) and AmB-resistant (MICs = 21.33 versus >32 μg/ml for combined and AmB alone, respectively) strains of A. fumigatus.
