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.

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.

Applications

Leptomycin B is an important tool in the study of nuclear export. Leptomycin B is twice as potent as Leptomycin A Leptomycin B (LPB) was originally discovered as a potent anti-fungal antibiotic from Streptomyces sp. However, recent data (2003) showed that Leptomycin causes G1 cell cycle arrest in mammalian cells and is a potent anti-tumor agent against murine experimental tumors. Leptomycin B is a potent and specific nuclear export inhibitor. Leptomycin B alkylates and inhibits CRM1 (chromosomal region maintenance)/exportin 1, a protein required for nuclear export of proteins containing a nuclear export sequence (NES). In addition to antifungal and antibacterial activities, Leptomycin B blocks the cell cycle and is a potent anti-tumor agent. At low nM concentrations, Leptomycin B blocks the nuclear export of many proteins including HIV-1 Rev, MAPK/ERK, and NF-κB/IκB, and it stabilizes the expression of p53. Leptomycin B also inhibits the export and translation of many RNAs, including COX-2 and c-Fos mRNAs, by inhibiting export of ribonucleoproteins.

Description

Geldanamycin is a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic, which binds to Hsp90 (Heat Shock Protein 90) and alters its function. Geldanamycin is a natural product from which several valuable derivates were synthesized. All derivates share its HSP90 inhibition, and vary in overall toxicity and water solubility.
