Penicillamine (Artamine), possessing antineoplastic properties, induces apoptosis by a p53-mediated mechanism and inhibits angiogenesis by chelating with copper, a cofactor for angiogenesis. Artamine is a beta dimethyl analog of the amino acid cysteine. As a degradation product of penicillin antibiotics, Artamine chelates with heavy metals and increases their urinary excretion.

Polyphyllin D induces apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway as evidenced by decreased Bcl-2 expression levels, disruption of MMP and increased Bax, cytochrome C, and cleaved-caspase-3 levels. Polyphyllin D has an anti-angiogenic effect. Polyphyllin D has toxicity in human RBCs as well as its underlying mechanism for the hemolysis and eryptosis erythroptosis. Polyphyllin D has strong anticancer activity, can overcome drug resistance in R-HepG2 cells and elicit programmed cell death via mitochondrial dysfunction.

Banoxantrone dihydrochloride (AQ4N dihydrochloride) is a novel hypoxic cytotoxin that selectively kills hypoxic cells through an iNOS-dependent mechanism.

RTC-5 (TRC-382) is a phenothiazine compound that has been specifically enhanced for its potent anti-cancer properties. It exhibits considerable effectiveness against an EGFR-driven cancer xenograft model. The mechanism behind its efficacy can be attributed to the simultaneous inhibition of PI3K-AKT and RAS-ERK signaling pathways.

dMCL1-2 is a potent and selective myeloid leukemia 1 (MCL1) degrading agent based on PROTAC, binding to MCL1 with a KD of 30 nM and activating the apoptosis mechanism by degrading MCL1.

TPC-144 is a potent and selective LSD1 inhibitor with a reversible inhibition mechanism. TPC-144 has antitumor activity in several human AML and SCLC cell lines and xenograft models.

VPC-13163 (NSC-52361) has strong anti-proliferative activity against LNCaP and Enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer cell lines (MR49F) whereas it did not affect the growth of AR independent PC3 cell line. It also inhibits Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in both LNCaP and MR49F and reduces expression of AR target genes, PSA and TMPRSS2. These findings suggest that VPC-13566 exhibits AR BF3 specific mechanism of action.

NM-3 is an orally available anti-angiogenic inhibitor with anti-tumour activity.NM-3 is used as a radiation modulator in vitro and in vivo.NM-3 inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), thereby inhibiting the proliferation of endothelial cells. This inhibits the proliferation of endothelial cells. NM-3 is associated with a mechanism of apoptosis induction by reactive oxygen species.

Viloxazine (Viloxazin) (Viloxazin) is a dual-action compound that functions as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and exhibits potent agonistic activity towards 5-HT 2C receptors while acting as an antagonist for 5-HT 2B receptors, with respective potency values of EC 50 = 32 μM and IC 50 = 27 μM. Its primary mechanism of action involves the modulation of serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways. Viloxazine is commonly employed in depression research [1] [2].

Elgodipine significantly reduced the incidence and severity of exercise-induced angina pectoris systemically and was able to inhibit vascular smooth muscle proliferation through a mechanism independent of the expression of the transcription factors c-fos and c-jun. The Elgodipine-induced inhibition was voltage-dependent. Elgodipine is a potential compound for the treatment of angina pectoris.

Losulazine is a peripheral sympathetic antihypertensive compound that can be taken orally. Losulazine causes relatively modest, transient depletion of dopamine and norepinephrine in brain regions protected by the blood-brain barrier.

T-900607 is a novel microtubule protein active agent that disrupts microtubule polymerization through a unique mechanism of action. t-900607 is cardiotoxic.

Bisindolylmaleimide VIII (Ro-31-7549) is a selective and potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor with good inhibition of PKC-α, PKC-β I, PKC-β II, PKC-γ, and PKC-ε.Bisindolylmaleimide VIII Bisindolylmaleimide VIII inhibits T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases and enhances Fas-mediated apoptosis through a protein kinase C-independent mechanism.

TCIP 1 is a small molecule in the category of transcriptional epigenetic covalent inhibitor probes (TCIPs) that forms covalent bonds with molecules targeting BCL6 and BRD4. This compound facilitates cell death gene expression by directing endogenous cancer drivers or transcription factors to the promoters of these genes. Additionally, TCIP 1 exhibits a gain-of-function mechanism, displaying both cell and tissue specificity, and it establishes a ternary complex with BCL6 and BRD4. It counteracts BCL6's inhibitory effect on apoptosis gene expression, leading to the activation of apoptosis. Furthermore, TCIP 1 markedly suppresses MYC oncogene expression and curtails the proliferation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [1].

Dantrolene sodium (Dantrolene sodium salt) is a skeletal muscle relaxant and can interfere with excitation-contraction coupling in the muscle fiber. It is used for the treatment of spasticity and other neuromuscular abnormalities. Its mechanism of action is may not central, but dantrolene is usually grouped with the central muscle relaxants.

Mirtazapine (6-Azamianserin) is a tetracyclic antidepressant with a somewhat unique mechanism of action. Mirtazapine therapy can be associated with transient asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Brinzolamide (AL-4862) is a Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase.

Oltipraz (RP 35972) is a synthetic dithiolethione with potential chemopreventive and anti-angiogenic properties. Oltipraz induces phase II detoxification enzymes, such as glutathione S transferase (GST) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). The induction of detoxification enzymes enhances the detoxification of certain cancer-causing agents, thereby enhancing their elimination and preventing carcinogen-induced DNA damages. Although the exact mechanism through which the anti-angiogenesis effect remains to be fully elucidated, oltipraz maybe able to modulate the expression of a number of angiogenic factors, thereby blocking the sustained and focal neovascularization in multiple tumor cell types.

Anagrelide (Xagrid) is a Platelet-reducing Agent. The mechanism of action of anagrelide is as a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor. The physiologic effect of anagrelide is by means of Decreased Platelet Production.

Docetaxel trihydrate (RP-56976 Trihydrate) is an antineoplastic agent that has a unique mechanism of action as an inhibitor of cellular mitosis and that currently plays a central role in the therapy of many solid tumor including breast and lung cancer. Therapy with docetaxel has been associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations and rarely to instances of acute hepatic necrosis generally due to severe hypersensitivity reactions or sepsis.
