Cancer is most accurately described as a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and division.There are more than a hundred defined types of cancer.

Cancer can occur in nearly every organ or tissue in the body.

Various small molecules are widely used in the research of cancer. Especially in the last decade, cancer research has evolved from a one-size-fits-all approach that emphasized cytotoxic chemotherapy to a more personalized medical strategy that focuses on the discovery and development of targeted drugs.

These drugs are designed, on a molecular level, to exploit particular genetic dependencies, addictions, and vulnerabilities of cancer cells.

Much current cancer research is concentrated in the areas of programmed cell death, tumor invasion and angiogenesis, tumor immunology, oncogenic signaling, gene expression and copy number, epigenetic regulation, toxicity and chemoresistance, metabolic stress and damage to DNA. Fermentek offers more than 30 unique biochemicals currently being used in cancer research.

Bafilomycin B1
Description

Bafilomycin B1 is a specific inhibitor of vacuolar type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) in animal cells, plant cells and microorganisms.

Bafilomycin B1  can prevent the re-acidification of synaptic vesicles once they have undergone exocytosis.

It displays Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antineoplastic, Immunosuppressive properties.

Bafilomycin B1 shares the same mode of action and activity as its more accessible Bafilomycin A1 analogue. Bafilomycin B1 is broadly active against bacteria, fungi, insects, nematodes and protozoans. Bafilomycin B1 has attracted interest as a potential antiosteoporotic agent in treating bone lytic diseases.

Bafilomycins have been considered as possible therapeutic agents in the treatment of gastritis.

Applications

Bafilomycins specificly  inhibit  vacuolar type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) in animal cells, plant cells and microorganisms. Bafilomycin A1 is useful in distinguishing among different types of ATPases. Bafilomycin A1 can prevent the re-acidification of synaptic vesicles once they have undergone exocytosis. Bafilomycin A1 and B1 significantly attenuate cerebellar granule neuron death resulting from agents that disrupt lysosome. As vacuolar ATPase inhibitors bafilomycins overcome Bcl-​xL-​mediated chemoresistance through restoration of a caspase-​independent apoptotic pathway.

Description

Cercosporin is a light-induced polyketide phytotoxin reported to produce singlet oxygen when photoactivated. Acts as a potent and specific PKC inhibitor. Competes for the phorbol binding site. Anticancer compound. Also displays antiproliferative; antiparasitic and antimicrobial properties. Cercosporin is a photosensitizing toxin produced by fungal plant pathogens in the genus Cercospora. Cercosporin produces singlet oxygen and superoxide when irradiated by light, and damages plants by causing a peroxidation of the membrane lipids. This membrane damage leads to a loss in membrane fluidity, leakage of nutrients, and rapid death of the plant cell. Cercosporin is toxic to mice and bacteria in addition to plants, and attempts to select plant cells in vitro for resistance to cercosporin have not been successful. A large number of fungal species, however, are resistant to cercosporin. Carotenoids and the fungal cell wall appear to play a critical role in the resistance of fungi to cercosporin.

Description

A polyether potassium ionophore. Salinomycin is potent antimicrobial, it acts against Gram-positive bacteria, among which there are some hard to treat strains, for example  methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 

As an anticancer candidate drug, Salinomycin has been shown by Piyush Gupta et al. of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Broad Institute to kill breast cancer stem cells in mice at least 100 times more effectively than the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel. The study screened 16,000 different chemical compounds and found that only a small subset, including salinomycin and etoposide, targeted cancer stem cells responsible for metastasis and relapse.

Solubility ( literature )

Thiostrepton is soluble in chloroform, dichloromethane, dioxane, pyridine, glacial acetic acid, DMF. Practically insoluble in water, the lower alcohols, nonpolar organic solvents, diluted aqeous acids or bases. It may be dissolved by methanolic acid or base, but with decomposition. Working solution of 1% in DMSO is unstable and should be freshly prepared and protected from light.

Applications

Thiostrepton is used as a reagent for both positive and negative selection of genes involved in nucleotide metabolism. Thiostrepton is highly active against gram-positive bacteria. In its crude form, Thiostrepton is used in veterinary medicine, in mastitis caused by gram-negative organisms and in dermatologic disorders. inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Inhibits mRNA-tRNA translocation by GTPase elongation factor G (EF-G), EF-TU(GTP)-catalyzed aa-tRNA delivery and the activity of initiation factor 2 (IF-2).

As an antitumoragent Thiostrepton induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in breast cancer cells via downregulation of FOXM1 expression. Thiostrepton is a FoxM1 specific inhibitor.

Description

Thapsigargin is a cell-permeable, tumor promoting sesquiterpene lactone. A tight-binding inhibitor of intracellular calcium (SERCA) pumps (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase). Chemically it is classified as a sesquiterpene lactone antibiotic.

A study from the University of Nottingham showed promising results for its use against Covid-19 and other coronavirus.
