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.

NHI-2 is a lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 14.7 µM, demonstrating high selectivity for LDHA over LDHB, for which the IC50 is 55.8 µM. NHI-2 functions as an efficient anti-glycolytic agent, enhancing apoptosis, inducing cell cycle arrest at the S and G2 phases, and exerting broad-spectrum antiproliferative effects in cancer cells. NHI-2 additionally affects extracellular acidification rates and ATP production and has demonstrated tumor growth suppression in murine B78 melanoma models, highlighting its role in cancer metabolism research.
