p21waf1/cip1

PTACH (Cpd 51) (NCH-51) is a SAHA-based inhibitor of human HDAC. It can potently inhibit the growth of various human Y cells (EC50: 1 to 10 μM).

FIDAS-5 is an orally active methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.1 μM. It can effectively compete with S-adenosylmethionine for MAT2A binding and has anticancer effects.

CP-31398 stabilizes the active conformation of p53 in cancer cells with either mutated or wild-type p53, enhancing its activity. Additionally, CP-31398 upregulates target genes of p53 such as p21WAF1 Cip1 and KILLER DR5. This compound possesses tumor-suppressive properties.

JTE-607 is a cytokine production inhibitor. JTE-607 induces apoptosis accompanied by an increase in p21waf1 cip1 in acute myelogenous leukemia cells.

Argyrin F is a cyclopeptide with antitumor properties. It inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and colony formation by partially inducing apoptosis (apoptosis) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Argyrin F stabilizes p27kip, upregulates p21waf1 cip1, and reduces COX2. Argyrin F is applicable for research in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
