Thapsigargin is a natural product, an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) and an endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer. Thapsigargin increases cytoplasmic calcium concentration by blocking the ability of cells to pump calcium into the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum.

MC2590 is a potent and selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that inhibits HDAC1-3, -6, -8, and -10 activities, induces cell cycle arrest, and promotes apoptosis.

Anticancer agent 110 is an anticancer compound with cytotoxic, antitumor, and antileukemic activity that triggers DNA damage and apoptosis and is used in the study of chronic granulocytic leukemia.

Chloroquine phosphate (Aralen phosphate) is an antimalarial and anti-inflammatory agent widely used for malaria and rheumatoid arthritis. Chloroquine phosphate acts as an inhibitor of autophagy and toll-like receptors, effectively suppressing SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection (EC50 = 1.13 μM). Chloroquine phosphate can be utilized in research on autophagy, lysosomal function, and tumor diseases.

Ribavirin (Tribavirin) is a synthetic nucleoside analog of ribofuranose with activity against hepatitis C virus and other RNA viruses.

Capsaicin is an active natural component found in chili peppers and acts as a TRPV1 agonist (EC50 = 0.29 μM). It possesses multiple activities, including pain relief, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, as well as some neurotoxicity. Capsaicin can be used to establish itch models.

Mifepristone (C-1073) is a progesterone-receptor (IC50=0.2 nM) and glucocorticoid-receptor antagonist (IC50=2.6 nM). Mifepristone is used to terminate pregnancy, treat uterine fibroids, and treat endometriosis.

Nilotinib (AMN107) is a Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor with oral activity. Nilotinib has antitumor activity and may be used for the treatment of Imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).

Scutellarin (Breviscapin) is a natural flavonoid isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis that exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective and neuroprotective activities. Scutellarin demonstrates antiviral activity against HIV-1 IIIB, HIV-1 (74V), and HIV-1 KM018. Scutellarin inhibits the RANKL-mediated MAPK/NF-κB pathway (IC₅₀ = 10 μM) and activates the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway (EC₅₀ = 5 μM). Scutellarin can be used in natural product development and basic research on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Icaritin (Anhydroicaritin) has hormone regulation activity and cardiovascular function improvement activity. Icaritin has anticancer activity, can induce S phase arrest and apoptosis, inhibit ENKL cell proliferation. Icaritin has anti-multiple myeloma activity, mainly mediated by inhibiting IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling. Icaritin at low concentration (4 or 8 μMol/L) can promote rat chondrocyte proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis, while the effect of Icaritin on rat chondrocyte at high concentration was reversed.

Irinotecan (CPT-11), a derivative of camptothecin, is an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I). Irinotecan has antitumor activity by preventing DNA strand reattachment through binding to the Topo I complex, resulting in double-stranded DNA breaks and cell death.
