(S)-Thalidomide ((S)-(-)-Thalidomide) is the S-enantiomer of Thalidomide. (S)-Thalidomide has immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic and pro-apoptotic effects. (S)-Thalidomide induces teratogenic effects by binding to cereblon (CRBN) .

Sodium fluoride (NaF) induces apoptosis and autophagy via the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells.

Leusin-1 (Leukemia specific inhibitor 1) is a cell cycle phase specific inhibitor that specifically arrest leukemia cells during G2-phase and triggers an apoptotic cell death (CCRF-CEM IC50= 2.66 uM and TOM1 IC50= 0.877 uM).Leusin-1 showed specificity towards acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells than other types of leukemias, non-bloodborne cancers, or normal cells.Leusin-1 also arrested cells with lower levels of p-H3 (present only in M-phase) and increased levels of Cyclin A (levels peak in G2-phase).Leusin-1 does not target tubulin, Leusin-1 inhibited colony formation similar to Taxol.

WEHI-7326 (WEHI 7326) is a specifi mitotic inhibitor and potential anticancer agent, causes cell cycle arrest in G2/M, cell death in vitro (MDA-MB-231 IC50=24.4 nM), and displays efficacious anti-tumor activity in vivo.WEHI-7326 induces cell death in a broad range of cancer cell lines, including taxane-resistant cells, and inhibits growth of human colon, brain, lung, prostate and breast tumors in mice xenografts.WEHI-7326 exceeded potency of myoseverin B by almost ten-fold, did not show any significant cytotoxic activity in vitro (IC50>40 uM) in HepG2 cells.WEHI-7326 prolongs survival in mouse models of high-risk neuroblastoma and leads to complete tumor regression when used in combination with standard-of-care relapse therapies.
