A dihydropyrazol derivative that acts as a selective activator of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3 (EIF2AK3/PERK) and increases the phosphorylation of EIF2A at Ser51 in HT29 and MCF7 cells. Does not inhibit the activity of cyclin dependent kinases, but causes a rapid loss of cyclin D expression. Also shown to block Rb protein phosphorylation (EC50 = 4.2 µM) in HT29 cells. Reported to sensitize cancer cells with defective taxane-induced EIF2A phosphorylation to paclitaxel treatment. Induces a long-term inhibition of cell proliferation even after its removal (GI50 = 3.1 µM).

Axial length is the primary determinant of eye size, and it is elongated in myopia. However, the underlying mechanism of the onset and progression of axial elongation remain unclear. Here, we show that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in sclera is
PKR-like kinase (PERK) plays a significant role in inducing angiogenesis in various cancer types including glioblastoma. By proteomics analysis of the conditioned medium from a glioblastoma cell line treated with a PERK inhibitor, we showed that peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM)
Delirium is the most common postoperative complication in older patients after prolonged anesthesia and surgery and is associated with accelerated cognitive decline and dementia. The neuronal pathogenesis of postoperative delirium is largely unknown. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an
Human cancers often contain genetic alterations that disable G1/S checkpoint control and loss of this checkpoint is thought to critically contribute to cancer generation by permitting inappropriate proliferation and distorting fate-driven cell cycle exit. The identification of cell permeable small
