A cytidine analogue and inhibitor of DNA methyl transferases (DNMTs) with anti-cancer activity. This stable, hydrophilic compound forms covalent complexes between DNMT and zebularine-substrate DNA. It causes DNA lesions that block replication and cause replication fork collapse, leading to the formation of DNA double-strand breaks. It was also shown that zebularine-induced DNA methylation decrease in the IL-1β promoter region and disrupts molecular mechanisms of neuroinflammation. Moreover, this molecule down-regulates the DNA-methylation profile in the pluripotency genes’ promoters, which leads to improved development of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos.

Bragsin2 affects the trans-Golgi network and was shown to affect the tumour sphere in breast cancer cell lines.

LOXO-305 is a small molecule inhibitor, which is a synthesized chemical compound designed to selectively target specific enzymes or pathways. Its source is rooted in medicinal chemistry and pharmacological research aimed at elucidating pathways involved in oncogenesis. The mode of action of LOXO-305 involves selectively inhibiting the Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), a key enzyme in the B-cell receptor signaling pathway. By binding to BTK, LOXO-305 disrupts its activity, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling pathways that promote cell survival and proliferation, particularly in malignant B-cells. LOXO-305 is used as a therapeutic agent in oncology, specifically targeting cancers with aberrations in the BTK pathway, such as certain forms of leukemia and lymphoma. Its selective inhibition profile allows for potentially reduced off-target effects compared to non-selective inhibitors. Its applications are primarily in treatment regimens for patients with relapsed or refractory disease who have mutations that either render other treatments ineffective or pose a high risk of relapse. Ongoing research continues to explore its efficacy in a variety of B-cell malignancies, potentially broadening its applicability in the oncology field.

A reduction in DHT concentration will cause a reduction in prostatic volume as DHT appears to be the main androgen responsible for stimulating prostatic growth. Finasteride is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready-to-use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work.

Sorafenib is a drug that belongs to the class of multikinase inhibitors. It inhibits a number of kinases, including the Mcl-1 protein, which is involved in apoptosis along with blocking picolinic acid (PA), an endogenous metabolite involved in apoptosis signal transduction. Sorafenib also binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the surface of cancer cells, inhibiting the production of proteins that are required for angiogenesis, thus blocking the formation of new blood vessels. Sorafenib may also inhibit P-glycoprotein (Pgp) activity. Overall, these cytotoxic effects give Sorafenib anti-tumor properties, inhibiting angiogenesis and cellular transformation, which are the two main processes of tumor growth and metastasis. Sorafenib has been shown to be effective against a range of solid tumors such as breast, prostate and lung cancers and is also used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer and renal cell carcinoma. A combination therapy group found that sorafenib was more effective when used with interferon alfa-2b for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Sorafenib also has the potential for drug interactions with other drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Enalapril is a long-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. It is used to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure, as well as chronic cough due to postnasal drip or bronchitis. Enalapril is an active inhibitor of the synthesis of angiotensin II and other vasoconstrictor substances that are involved in the regulation of blood pressure. It binds reversibly to the active site on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and blocks its activity by forming strong hydrogen bonds with residues on ACE, thereby preventing it from converting angiotensin I into angiotensin II. This leads to a significant reduction in blood pressure. (S,S,S)-Enalapril maleate is part of our Bio-X ™ Range.
