SR-717 is a cGAMP analog, a non-nucleoside STING agonist that induces a "closed" activation conformation of STING. SR-717 has antitumor activity and promotes activation of immune cells and cross-presentation of antigens.

Vadimezan (DMXAA) is a vascular disrupting agent, a murine STING agonist, and an inducer of cytokines such as type I IFN. Vadimezan has antitumor activity and induces a rapid cessation of blood flow in tumors without affecting blood flow in normal tissues.

MSA-2 is an orally available non-nucleotide STING agonist. The non-covalent dimer of MSA-2 binds to STING with nanomolar affinity. It shows anti-tumor activity in syngeneic mouse tumor models, synergizes with anti-PD-1, stimulates tumor secretion of interferon-β, induces tumor regression, and has long-lasting anti-tumor immunity.

Cridanimod (10-carboxymethyl-9-acridanone, CMA) is a potent STING agonist that directly binds to STING and triggers a strong antiviral response through the TBK1/IRF3 route.

Dazostinag disodium (TAK-676) is a synthetic novel interferon gene (STING) agonist that triggers STING signaling pathway activation and type I interferon activation. Dazostinag disodium (TAK-676) is also a highly effective immune system modulator with complete resolution and lasting memory of T cell immunity and the ability to promote lasting interferon-dependent anti-tumor immune responses.

SN-008 is a less active analog SN-011 which is a STING antagonist. SN-008 can be used as a negative control.

diABZI STING agonist-1 (trihydrochloride) is a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) receptor agonist.

C-178 is a covalent inhibitor of STING, binds to Cys91 on STING to block its palmitoylation and prevents recruitment and phosphorylation of TBK1 in HEK293T cells.
