CEACAM8 Inhibitors

The chemical class of CEACAM5 Inhibitors encompasses theoretical compounds that interact with or modulate the activity of the CEACAM5 protein. CEACAM5, known for its role in cell adhesion, signaling, and immune response modulation, can be influenced indirectly by altering the signaling pathways and molecular interactions it is involved in. The inhibitors listed above, such as kinase inhibitors and pathway-specific inhibitors, target components of signaling pathways that CEACAM5 may be part of or influence.

These inhibitors work by disrupting the molecular cascades that regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolism, thereby indirectly impacting CEACAM5's function. For example, PI3K inhibitors like LY294002 disrupt the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which is crucial for many cellular processes including those in which CEACAM5 may be involved. Similarly, inhibitors targeting the MAPK/ERK pathway (e.g., PD98059) or the p38 MAPK pathway (e.g., SB203580) can alter the cellular response in a way that affects CEACAM5's role in these pathways.
