Cell Cycle Arrest

Ginsenoside C-K (Ginsenoside K) is a bacterial metabolite of G-Rb1 exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects by reducing iNOS and COX-2.

Gracillin can induce cell cycle arrest, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in HL60 cells, and has the potential to be developed as an antitumor agent. Gracillin can be selected as lead compounds for the development of new drugs against I. multifiliis.

Schinifoline is a quinolone derivative extracted from Zanthoxylum schinifolium Sieb with cytotoxic activity that promotes radiosensitization of cancer cells, affects the cell cycle and apoptosis.

4-Oxofenretinide (3-Keto fenretinide) , a recently identified fenretinide metabolite, induces marked G2-M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Kaempferitrin (Lespenephryl) has antidepressant-like effect related to the serotonergic system, principally 5-HT1A. Kaempferitrin exerts cytotoxic and antitumor effects against HeLa cells. Kaempferitrin stimulates glucose-metabolizing enzymes, promotes glucose homeostasis. Kaempferitrin exerts immunostimulatory effects on immune responses mediated by splenocytes, macrophages, PBMC and NK cells. Kaempferitrin induces cytotoxic effects to include: cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and apoptosis via the intrinsic pathway in a caspase-dependent pathway.

CAM 833 is an effective orthosteric inhibitor of the BRCA2-RAD51 interaction, inhibiting RAD51 aggregation, enhancing DNA damage-induced apoptosis, increasing 4N cell cycle arrest, and disrupting homologous DNA repair (HDR), and can be used for cancer therapy.

Trilaciclib is a short-acting, orally effective CDK4/6 inhibitor with IC₅₀ values of 1 nM and 4 nM respectively. It transiently and reversibly induces G1 cell cycle arrest, mitigates chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression, and enhances antitumour immunity, making it applicable across multiple cancers.

Picrasidine Q is an anticancer natural alkaloid that targets FGFR2, inducing apoptosis and G1 arrest in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells.

Imofinostat (MPT0E028) is a selective, orally available pan-HDAC inhibitor with IC₅₀ values of 53.0/106.2/29.5 nM against HDAC1/HDAC2/HDAC6 in HCT116 cells. In B-cell lymphoma, Imofinostat induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis whilst inhibiting Akt phosphorylation, demonstrating anticancer activity across multiple tumour types.

PRLX-93936 is a selective Ras pathway protein inhibitor that modulates RAS/JNK pathway-associated protein phosphorylation, induces caspase-dependent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, and exhibits anticancer activity.

S)-(-)-Perillic acid is a terpenoid natural product capable of inhibiting protein pentosylisation and protein acylation. It exhibits anti-infective and anti-cancer activity, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells while increasing intracellular protein levels of Bax, p21, and caspase-3.

PI-103 Hydrochloride is a dual PI3K/Akt and mTOR inhibitor exhibiting nM-level inhibition of p110α, p110β, p110δ, p110γ, DNA-PK, mTORC1, and mTORC2. PI-103 induces autophagy, mitochondrial apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest, making it suitable for leukaemia research.

KS15 is a cryptochrome (CRY) inhibitor that promotes G1 cell cycle arrest, enhances drug sensitivity in MCF-7 cells, and exhibits antitumour activity against human breast cancer cells.
