BRD4 Inhibitor-15 (compound 13) is a potent BRD4 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 18 nM. BRD4 Inhibitor-15 induces apoptosis of 22RV1 cells by regulating Bcl-2/Bax proteins and activating caspase-3 signaling pathway. BRD4 Inhibitor-15 down-regulates the c-Myc level in 22RV1 cells. BRD4 Inhibitor-15 can be used for prostate cancer research[1].
Secalonic acid D is a toxic compound against tumor cells. Secalonic acid D can be isolated from the metabolites of Aspergillus aculeatus. Secalonic acid D activates GSK3-β, and degrades β-catenin. Thus, Secalonic acid D down-regulates c-Myc expression, arrests cell cycle at G1 phase, induces cell apoptosis[1][2].
EP12 is a c-Myc inhibitor. EP12 is a c-Myc G4 stabilizer. EP12 induces apoptosis and DNA damage in multiple myeloma cells. EP12 disrupts the nuclear translocation of P65/P50 by interfering with the NF-κB signaling pathway. EP12 inhibits multiple myeloma growth[1].
FUBP1-IN-2 (compound 9) is a potent FUBP1 (far upstream binding protein 1) inhibitor. FUBP1-IN-2 inhibits the KH4 FUBP1-FUSE interaction in a gel shift assay. FUBP1-IN-2 binds to FUBP1 in a ChIP assay. FUBP1-IN-2 reduces both c-Myc mRNA and protein expression, increases p21 mRNA and protein expression, and depletes intracellular polyamines[1].
MYCMI-6 (NSC354961) is a selective, high affinity inhibitor of MYC-MAX interaction, blocks MYC-driven transcription and binds selectively to the MYC bHLHZip domain with Kd of 1.6 uM in SPR assay; specifcally targets MYC:MAX interaction without interfering with other MYC activities, selectively suppresses MYC-driven tumor cell growth with high efficacy, efficiently inhibits anchorage-independent growth of MYCN-amplifed neuroblastoma cells with GI50 values of <0.4, 5 and 0.75 μM, respectively; reduces proliferation and induces massive apoptosis in tumor tissue from a MYC-driven xenograft tumor model without severe side effects
Lusianthridin, a pure compound from Dendrobium venustum, have an anti-migratory effect. Lusianthridin enhances c-Myc degradation through the inhibition of Src-STAT3 signaling[1].
