TNF-α

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors reduce the production or signaling of a central inflammatory cytokine. In 1975 an endotoxin-induced serum factor that causes necrosis of tumors was described and named tumor necrosis factor. Cloning of human TNF in 1984 revealed a precursor related to lymphotoxin. Through its two receptors, TNF-α activates nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and cell death pathways. Etanercept is a soluble receptor fusion protein that binds the cytokine, and C 87 is a small-molecule TNF-α inhibitor. In 1991 thalidomide was shown to inhibit TNF-α production by stimulated human monocytes, and its analogs lenalidomide and pomalidomide are also listed. Pathway compounds include the NF-κB inhibitor QNZ and necrostatin-1, an inhibitor of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1).

    Lenalidomide (CC-5013)

    Synonyms: Revlimid; CC-5013

    Lenalidomide is a derivative of thalidomide. In vitro, lenalidomide has three main activities: direct anti-tumor effect, inhibition of the micro environment support for tumor cells, and immunomodulatory role. It induces tumor cell apoptosis directly and indirectly by inhibition of bone marrow stromal cell support, by anti-angiogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic effects, and by immunomodulatory activity.

    VDX-111

    VDX-111 is a necroptosis inducer that functions as an analog of vitamin D. It exerts cytotoxic effects in ovarian cancer cells by upregulating the RIPK1/RIPK3 pathway, leading to necroptotic cell death. Additionally, VDX-111 promotes cytokine expression and demonstrates significant antitumor activity in murine models, making it a valuable tool for cancer research focused on necroptosis.

    LY 303511 hydrochloride

    LY 303511 hydrochloride is a structural analogue of LY294002 and acts as a TNF receptor activator. It enhances the sensitivity of SHEP-1 neuroblastoma cells to TRAIL, making it a valuable tool for investigating apoptosis mechanisms in cancer research. Additionally, LY 303511 reversibly blocks potassium currents in MIN6 insulinoma cells with an IC50 value of 64.6 ± 9.1 μM, facilitating studies in insulin secretion and pancreatic function.
