Se-Aspirin (Se-NSAID-8) has anticancer activity and gastroprotective effects, inhibits activation of proinflammatory and pro-survival NF-?B pathways, and inhibits the expression of anti-apoptotic targets downstream of NF-?B (e.g., Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, and survivin).Se-Aspirin induces Cell cycle arrest and activation of apoptosis accelerates ulcer healing and can be used to study pancreatic and colorectal cancer.

植物鞘氨醇是一种具有抗癌特性的磷脂。在癌细胞中，植物鞘氨醇通过激活 caspase 8 和 Bax 易位诱导细胞凋亡。

CP 461 (UNII-68OJX9I7DT), a specific PDE2A inhibitor, is a novel pro-apoptotic compound that inhibits cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase but not cyclooxygenase-1 or -2. CP 461 inhibits the growth of a variety of human tumor cell lines in vitro and selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cell lines, but not in normal cells.
