Gefitinib (ZD1839) is an EGFR first-generation inhibitor with oral activity that inhibits the EGFR 19 Del and L858R mutations. Gefitinib has antitumor activity and is used for the treatment of EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancers. Gefitinib administration RESULTS in the development of the EGFR C797S resistance mutation.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) possess an ability to inhibit the lung metastasis of tumor cells via inhibition of the adhesion and invasion of tumor cells. It inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) and has anti-angiogenesis activities.

Barbigerone is a tumor angiogenesis, growth, and metastasis inhibitor in melanoma.

Capillarisin is a novel blocker of STAT3 activation and thus may have a potential in negative regulation of growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance of tumor cells, it inhibits cancer cell growth of osteosarcoma cells by inducing apoptosis accompanied with

Griffipavixanthone inhibits the growth of human Non-small-cell lung cancer H520 cells in dose- and time-dependent manners, it induces cell apoptosis through mitochondrial apoptotic pathway accompanying with ROS production. It can inhibit tumor metastasis

Isoxanthohumol is a prenylated flavonoid derived from hops and beer with antiproliferative activity against several human cancer cell lines.Isoxanthohumol inhibits the metastasis or invasion of lung metastases of tumor cells.Isoxanthohumol has antiviral activity against herpesviruses (HSV1 and HSV2) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV).

Ajoene is a disulfide that has been found inA. sativumand has diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, anticancer, antiplatelet, and antioxidant properties.1,2,3,4It is active against Gram-positive (MICs = 5-160 µg/ml) and Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = 136-200 µg/ml), as well as yeasts (MICs = 10-20 µg/ml).1Ajoene is cytotoxic to mouse melanoma cells (IC50= 18 µM), as well as human colon, lung, mammary, and pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 7-41 µM).2It reduces tumor growth in a B16/BL6 mouse model of melanoma when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg every other day and decreases the number of lung metastases when administered prior to tumor cell inoculation at doses ranging from 1-25 mg/kg. It inhibits ADP- or collagen-induced platelet aggregation in isolated baboon platelets when used at concentrations ranging from 75 to 150 µg/ml and in platelet-rich plasma isolated from baboons when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg.3Ajoene (25 mg/kg) prevents thrombus formation on damaged arterial walls in heparinized pigs in anin situmodel of thrombogenesis.5It also reduces high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, histopathological markers of liver damage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation, and protein oxidation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).4 1.Naganawa, R., Iwata, N., Ishikawa, K., et al.Inhibition of microbial growth by ajoene, a sulfur-containing compound derived from garlicAppl.

Decursinol is isolated from the roots of Angelica Gigas with an antinociceptive effect. It also has anti-tumor and anti-metastasis activity.

Borrelidin (Treponemycin) is a nitrogen-containing macrolide antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces rochei, which inhibits sugar-acyl-tRNA synthetase. It exhibits anticancer, antifungal, and anti-angiogenesis activities, inhibiting tumor growth and lung metastasis.

Xanthone (Xanthenone) is currently used as ovicide for codling moth eggs and as a larvicide.

Cytochalasin D is an actin inhibitor, the removal of actin stress fibers is crucial for the chondrogenic differentiation. It may be an inhibitor of some fertilization processes such as sperm penetration or sperm head decondensation. Cytochalasin D inhibit
