NCI-006 is a potent new inhibitor of lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) that disrupts tumor growth in mice. LDH inhibition slows tumor growth but rapidly redirects pyruvate to support mitochondrial metabolism. Inhibiting both mitochondrial complex 1 and LDH suppresses metabolic plasticity of glycolytic tumors in vivo, significantly prolonging tumor growth inhibition.
(E)-2-(2-Chlorostyryl)-3,5,6-trimethylpyrazine (CSTMP) is a stilbene derivative with antioxidant and anticancer activities. It stimulates proliferation of hydrogen peroxide-damaged ECV-304 cells (EC50 = 24.9 nM). CSTMP reduces hydrogen peroxide-induced release of lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) in and increases viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a concentration-dependent manner via inhibition of apoptosis. It reverses hydrogen peroxide-induced release of malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreases in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities as well as increases constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) activity and nitric oxide (NO) production in HUVECs. CSTMP also induces cell death of A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in an IRE1α-dependent manner through induction of IRE1α-TRAF2-ASK1 complex-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial apoptosis.
CAY10762 is an inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL; IC50= 34.1 nM).1It reduces hydrogen peroxide-induced lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) release from Neuro2a cells when used at a concentration of 1 μM. CAY10762 (10 mg kg) increases levels of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol in mouse brain. 1.Castelli, R., Scalvini, L., Vacondio, F., et al.Benzisothiazolinone derivatives as potent allosteric monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitors that functionally mimic sulfenylation of regulatory cysteinesJ.

Meclocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic with broad antimicrobial activity. Meclocycline inhibits lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) release and cell toxicity induced by expression of htt-N63-148Q, a mutant form of the huntingtin gene, without altering htt-N63-148Q protein levels in PC12 cells.
Clofibric acid-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of clofibric acid by GC- or LC-MS. Clofibric acid is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist (EC50 = 50 µM in a transactivation assay) and the active metabolite of clofibrate. It is formed from clofibrate by tissue and serum esterases. Dietary administration of clofibric acid (0.067-0.22%) reduces serum cholesterol, phospholipid, and triglyceride levels in rats. It decreases glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) levels and increases glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) levels, markers of xenobiotic stress, in the plasma of carp (C. carpio) when administered in tank water at a concentration of 10 µg/L. Clofibric acid has been found in wastewater effluent.
6(5H)-Phenanthridinone is an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and PARP2. It decreases radiation-induced PARP activity and proliferation of RDM4 murine lymphoma cells. 6(5H)-Phenanthridinone reduces NF-κB-induced transcription of the genes encoding TNF-α, IL-2, and IFN-γ in rat lymphocytes. In vivo, 6(5H)-phenanthridinone reduces spinal cord expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-2, and IFN-γ and reduces disease score in a rat model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). It also decreases serum levels of lactatedehydrogenase as well as hepatic lipid peroxidation, oxidative DNA damage, and PARP levels.
