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 A1 is a specific inhibitor of 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. Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antineoplastic, Immunosuppressive Bafilomycin A1 has been shown to decrease multi-drug resistance.

Bafilomycin A1, inhibits vacuolar-​ATPase.
It is a potassium ionophore that impairs mitochondrial functions.
It activates respiration of neuronal cells via uncoupling associated with flickering depolarization of mitochondria.
Bafilomycin A1 has been commonly used as a method of inhibition of infection by viruses known or suspected to follow the path of receptor-​mediated endocytosis and low-​pH-​mediated membrane fusion
Vacuolar ATPase inhibitors overcome Bcl-​xL-​mediated chemoresistance through restoration of a caspase-​independent apoptotic pathway.

Actinomycin D is an antibiotic, a member of Actinomycins group, derived from Streptomyces parvullus. Actinomycin D binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines.
