Lidocaine (Alphacaine) is an amide local anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. It has this functions perhaps due to an attenuation of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduction of neutrophils influx.

Selumetinib (AZD6244) is a MEK1/2 inhibitor that inhibits MEK1 (IC50=14 nM) with potent selectivity and is non-ATP-competitive. Selumetinib has antitumor activity and is used for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), an active component isolated from Astragalus membranaceus, suppresses the activation of ERK1/2 and JNK, and downregulates matrix metalloproteases (MMP)-2, (MMP)-9 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Astragaloside IV is a bioactive saponin first isolated from the dried plant roots of the genus Astragalus, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine.1 It dose-dependently inhibits human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV-3) in A549 cells (IC50 = 23 μM; LC50 = 865 μM).It inhibits replication of HAdV-3 and decreases HAdV-3-induced apoptosis. It has diverse protective effects for the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, and nervous systems. In particular, it reduces myocardial infarct size in dogs when administered prior to coronary ligation and reduces reperfusion arrhythmias in isolated rat hearts.

ROCK-IN-5 (compound I-B-37) is a potent inhibitor of protein kinases, including ROCK, ERK, GSK, and AGC, with potential applications in cardiac, proliferative, and neurodegenerative disease research.

Honokiol (NSC-293100) is the active principle of magnolia extract. It inhibits the activation of Akt and enhances the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2.
