FOXO

BN201 (OCS-05) is a drug with neuroprotective and myelin repair effects, which acts mainly by activating serum glucocorticoid kinase-2 (SGK2), which in turn activates the FOXO3 pathway to promote neuronal survival and myelin repair. It is mainly used for the treatment of inflammatory neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).BN201 is able to regulate multiple kinases in the insulin growth factor 1 (IGF1) pathway and cross the blood-brain barrier.

AS1842856 is a Foxo1 inhibitor (IC50=30 nM) that specifically blocks the transcriptional activity of Foxo1 and reduces its activity by directly binding to activated FoxO1. AS1842856 has autophagy inhibitory activity.

Broussochalcone A is a natural antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibitor (IC50 = 2.21 μM) that scavenges free radicals, inhibits iron-induced lipid peroxidation, and reduces nitric oxide synthesis in LPS-activated macrophages. Broussochalcone A induces apoptosis in human renal carcinoma cells by increasing ROS levels and activating the FOXO3 signaling pathway. Broussochalcone A is also a novel NR4A1 inhibitor that induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells through NR4A1-dependent pathways.

LOM612 is a potent and specific FOXO relocator that induces nuclear translocation of the FOXO3a reporter protein as well as endogenous FOXO3a and FOXO1 in a dose-dependent manner in U2OS cells, down-regulates the expression of c-Myc and cyclin D1, and has anti-proliferative effects in human cancer cell lines.

RLX (PD 139530) is a PI3K/Akt/FoxO3a signal inhibitor with anticancer activity against tumour cell lines such as colon cancer, inducing sub-G1 arrest and mitochondrial potential loss, thereby inhibiting tumour growth. RLX also exhibits antitussive and anti-asthmatic activity, reducing eosinophils and total lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and exhibits toxicity toward A549 cells.

JY-2 is an orally active and selective forkhead transcription factor O1 (FoxO1) inhibitor with antidiabetic activity and inhibits FoxO1 transcription.JY-2 can be used to study psoriasis and diabetes.

RLX HCl is a narcissus ketone analogue with anticancer activity that inhibits tumour proliferation by suppressing the PI3K Akt FoxO3a signalling pathway in experimental colon cancer, downregulating the p110α and p85 subunits of PI3K in HCT-116 cells, and exhibiting antiproliferative effects.

Kihadanin B can repress the adipogenesis by decreasing lipid accumulation through the suppression of the Akt-FOXO1-PPARγ axis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
