S7686 ML141 ML141 (CID-2950007) is demonstrated to be a potent, selective and reversible non-competitive inhibitor of Cdc42 GTPase suitable for in vitro assays, with IC50 of 200 nM and selectivity against other members of the Rho family of GTPases (Rac1, Rab2, Rab7). ML141 is associated with an increase in p38 activation and may induce p38-dependent apoptosis/senescence. ML141 also protects neuroblastoma cells from metformin-induced apoptosis.

S6889 Monomethyl Fumarate Monomethyl Fumarate (MMF, Monomethylfumarate, Fumaric acid monomethyl ester, Methyl hydrogen fumarate), the active metabolite of the psoriasis drug Fumaderm, is a potent GPR109A agonist. Monomethyl Fumarate prevents major dysfunctions associated with neurodegenerative diseases: oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and autophagy.

E3848 Hypericum Sampsonii Extract Hypericum Sampsonii Extract is extracted from Hypericum sampsonii, which induces apoptosis of cancer cells by modulating the subcellular localization of RXRalpha.
E3796 Flaxseed Extract Flaxseed Extract is drawed from Linum usitatissimum, which can regulate the growth of MCF-7 cells and induce apoptosis.
E2631New Colcemid Colcemid (Demecolcine), a derivative of colchicine, is a potent mitotic inhibitor which can incuces cell apoptosis and can be used for cancer research.

E4831New L-Arginine (L-glutamate) L-Arginine (L-glutamate) (Arginine glutamate) is a mixture of amino acids that induces apoptosis via hypertonic stress. It also promotes gastric relaxation by providing L-arginine for nitric oxide production, thereby benefiting gastrointestinal motility and conditions associated with vagus nerve dysfunction.
E1560New Raptinal Raptinal is a pro-apoptotic compound that induces apoptosis by promoting the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, thereby activating the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. It also inhibits the activity of caspase-activated Pannexin 1 (PANX1), a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane channel involved in regulating various cell death-associated processes.
