Piperlongumine selectively kills cancer cells regardless of p53 status without harming normal cells. It binds to and inihbits proteins known to regulate oxidative stress, in particular, Glutathione S-transferase pi 1 (GSTP1).
O4I2 is a potent inducers of Oct3/4. O4I2 showed high activity in enforcing Oct3/4 expression. O4I2 is a new class of small molecules suitable for iPSC generation.
Oct3/4-inducer-1 (compound 2) is a potent Oct3/4 inducer. Oct3/4-inducer-1 promotes expression and stabilization of Oct3/4, and enhances its transcriptional activity in diverse human somatic cells.
