Terameprocol is a synthetic derivative of NDGA, a non-selective lipoxygenase inhibitor.
Terameprocol is a synthetic derivative of NDGA, a non-selective lipoxygenase inhibitor. It inhibits Sp1 transcription factor binding at the HIV long terminal repeat promoter and at the α-ICP4 promoter, a gene essential for HSV replication, with IC50 values of 11 and 43.5 μM respectively. TMNDGA induces growth arrest and apoptosis by suppressing Sp1-dependent Cdc2 and survivin gene expression giving rise to its antitumorigenic activity. The in vivo growth of xenografts in numerous human tumor types was suppressed upon treatment with TMNDGA It also inhibits the growth of murine and human melanomas and human colon cancer in vivo without causing other tissue toxicity.
Terameprocol is known to reduce angiogenesis1.
Preparation Note
Terameprocol is soluble in DMSO at a concentration that is greater than or equal to 10 mg/ml.

Terameprocol, a novel, semisynthetic derivative of a naturally occurring plant lignan, is under development by Erimos Pharmaceuticals LLC for the potential treatment of cancer. The antitumor activity of terameprocol is based on the selective inhibition of specificity protein 1 (Sp1)-regulated
To develop a drug delivery system (DDS), it is critical to address challenging tasks such as the delivery of hydrophobic and amphiphilic compounds, cell uptake, and the metabolic fate of the drug delivery carrier. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been acknowledged

Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations are common in endometrial cancers, and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is targetable by drugs. We sought to investigate whether the combination of an mTOR inhibitor, everolimus (RAD001), and an AKT inhibitor, terameprocol (M4N), exerts better antiproliferative effects in
Growing evidence implicates α-synuclein aggregation as a key driver of neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. Herein, the molecular and structural mechanisms of inhibiting α-synuclein aggregation by novel analogs of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a phenolic dibenzenediol lignan
Kusunokinin, a lignan compound, inhibits cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis; however, the role of kusunokinin is not fully understood. Here, we aimed to identify a target protein of (-)-kusunokinin and determine the protein levels of its downstream molecules. We
