SI-2 is an inhibitor (SMI) of steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3 or AIB1). SI-2 can selectively reduce the transcriptional activities and the protein concentrations of SRC-3 in cells, and selectively induce breast cancer cell death with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range (3-20 nM), but not affect normal cell viability.

SI-2 hydrochloride (EPH 116 hydrochloride) is a highly promising inhibitor of SRC-3 SMI: SRC-3 (PPI)(IC50 values of 3-20 nM for breast cancer cell death), with acceptable oral availability.

(E)-SI-2 is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3 or AIB1) that can selectively inhibit the intrinsic transcriptional activities of SRC-3, also inhibits SRC-1 and SRC-2. It selectively reduces cellular protein levels of SRC-3, but not that of CARM-1, blocks MDA-MB-468 cell growth with an IC50 value of 3.4 nM, but spares normal cells.

Beauveriolide I is a cyclodepsipeptide that has been found inBeauveriaand an inhibitor of lipid droplet formation.1It inhibits lipid droplet formation when used at concentrations of 3 and 10 μM, as well as inhibits cholesterol synthesis (IC50= 0.78 μM), in primary mouse peritoneal macrophages.1,2Beauveriolide I also inhibits acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity in mouse macrophage membranes (IC50= 6 μM).2 1.Namatame, I., Tomoda, H., Si, S., et al.Beauveriolides, specific inhibitors of lipid droplet formation in mouse macrophages, produced by Beauveria sp.

Beauveriolide III is a cyclodepsipeptide that has been found inBeauveriaand an inhibitor of lipid droplet formation.1It inhibits lipid droplet formation when used at concentrations of 3 and 10 μM, as well as inhibits cholesterol synthesis (IC50= 0.41 μM), in primary mouse peritoneal macrophages.1,2Beauveriolide III also inhibits acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity in mouse macrophage membranes (IC50= 5.5 μM).2Beauveriolide III (25 and 50 mg/kg) reduces the size of aortic atherosclerotic lesions inLdlr-/-andApoE-/-mouse models of atherosclerosis. 1.Namatame, I., Tomoda, H., Si, S., et al.Beauveriolides, specific inhibitors of lipid droplet formation in mouse macrophages, produced by Beauveria sp.

Caffeoylcalleryanin demonstrated potent inhibitory activity against 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX), with an IC50 value of 1.59 μM. Furthermore, ethanol extract from A. pulchra leaves (EEAPL) was found to contain compounds exhibiting antiviral properties, particularly effective against Dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2). Among these compounds, Caffeoylcalleryanin emerged as the most potent anti-DENV-2 agent, achieving a selectivity index (SI) of 20.0.
