Dolastatin 15, a depsipeptide derived from Dolabella auricularia, is a potent antimitotic agent structurally related to the anti-tubulin agent Dolastatin 10. Dolastatin 15 can be used as an ADC cytotoxin and it induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in m
NSC745885 is an effective down-regulator of EZH2 via proteasome-mediated degradation. NSC745885 is also an effective anti-tumor agent that displays selective toxicity against multiple cancer cell lines but not normal cells. NSC745885 offers possibilities
Quinacrine is a compound with multiple actions that is commonly used as an anti-protozoal agent. It has also been shown to be a highly potent autophagy inhibitor, although the dose required to achieve this effect is considerably cytotoxic (LD50 = 2.5 μM). Quinacrine analog 34 is a derivative of quinacrine that was designed with an improved cell viability profile (LD50 = 27 μM) to inhibit autophagy. At a minimum concentration of 0.5 μM, this compound has been shown to increase the protein levels of the autophagy biomarker LC3-II and to induce lysosome deacidification.
