pdk-2

PS10 is a broad-spectrum PDK inhibitor that inhibits PDK2, PDK4, PDK1, and PDK3. It significantly increases pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity, and is used in research on obesity and type 2 diabetes.

VER-246608 is an effective and ATP-competitive inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (IC50s: 35 nM, 40 nM, 84 nM, and 91 nM for PDK-1, PDK-3, PDK-2, and PDK-4, respectively).VER-246608 disrupts Warburg metabolism and induces context-dependent cytosta

Sodium dichloroacetate (BCA) , a specific inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) with IC50 values of 183 and 80 μM for PDK2 and PDK4 respectively, has been shown to derepress a mitochondrial potassium-ion channel axis, trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, and inhibit tumor growth.

JX06, a potent, selective and covalent PDK inhibitor, inhibits PDK1, PDK2 and PDK3 with IC50 of 49 nM, 101 nM and 313 nM respectively.

BX517 (PDK1 inhibitor 2) is a potent and selective inhibitor of PDK1.

PDK-IN-2 (Compound 1F), with an IC50 of 68 nM, is a potent PDK inhibitor that downregulates the expression of PDK1 and PDK4 in cells. It promotes mitochondrial bioenergetics, reduces glycolytic activity, and triggers apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. Additionally, PDK-IN-2 has been shown to impede tumor growth in a 4T1 syngeneic mouse model [1].

δ-Tocotrienol (Delta-Tocotrienol) is a potential angiogenic inhibitor. δ-Tocotrienol is also a nontoxic activator of mir-34a which can inhibit nonsmall cell lung cancer cells (NSC-LC) cell proliferation, induce apoptosis and inhibit invasion, and thus offering a potential starting point for the design of novel anticancer agents.
