Geranylgeranoic acid (GGA) is an isoprenoid that has been found inS. chinensisand has anticancer activity.1It induces apoptosis in Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5 human hepatoma cells and MLE-10 transformed mouse hepatocytes, but not primary mouse hepatocytes, when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 20 μM. GGA (10 μM) induces apoptosis in Huh7 cellsvialoss of the mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE) and cysteine protease precursor 32 (CPP32).2It also inhibits lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1; IC50= 46.97 μM).3 1.Shidoji, Y., and Ogawa, H.Natural occurrence of cancer-preventive geranylgeranoic acid in medicinal herbsJ.

4-Deoxypyridoxine (4-DPD) is a vitamin B6 antimetabolite with diverse biological activities. It inhibits transport of pyridoxine , pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine in and reduces growth of S. carlsbergensis cells. 4-DPD inhibits sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase and reduces cyclic stretch-induced apoptosis in alveolar epithelial MLE-12 cells. 4-DPD (5 mg, i.p.) reduces lysyl oxidase activity by 26% and reduces collagen and elastin crosslinking, resulting in limb abnormalities in chick embryos. It decreases latency to first seizure in mice (ED50 = 1 mmol kg) and increases the occurrence and duration of myoclonic responses in baboons with photosensitive epilepsy. 4-DPD reduces TNF-α and IL-6 production in mice infected with T. spiralis.

Telithromycin is a semisynthetic 14-membered macrolide antibiotic and erythromycin derivative that binds to the 50S subunit of the 70S bacterial ribosome, inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, and exhibits antimicrobial activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for the treatment of mild to moderate respiratory infections.

BC-1215 is an inhibitor of F-box protein 3 (FBXO3, a ubiquitin E3 ligase component, IC50=0.9 μg mL for IL-1β release).
