ras/ras raf in 1

RAS RAS-RAF-IN-1 is a potent inhibitor of RAS and RAS-RAF, exhibiting a KD of 5.0 μμ-15 μμ for cyclophilin A (CYPA) binding affinity and demonstrating antitumor activity[1].

Sulindac sulfide (cis-Sulindac sulfide) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compound that has a high affinity for COX-1 and acts as an inhibitor in Ras activation of Raf-1. Sulindac sulfide is a non-competitive inhibitor of gamma-secretase with an IC50 value of 20.2 μM. It is an active metabolite of sulinic acid.

MCP110 is an inhibitor of the interaction of Ras with Raf-1 and can be used in studies about the treatment of human tumors.

The Survival of Motor Neurons (SMN) protein participates in RNA splicing. Decreases in SMN, typically a consequence of defects in the smn1 gene, result in the death of motor neurons and lead to the neurodegenerative disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Cuspin-1 is a small molecule upregulator of SMN that has been shown in vitro to increase levels of SMN in SMA patient fibroblasts by 50% at 18 μM. Its mechanism of action is thought to involve increased phosphorylation of ERK to initiate Ras-Raf-MEK signaling, which results in an increased rate of SMN translation.
