Hemin, a physiological erythroid maturation stimulator, is able to induce the expression of critical autophagic genes (Map1a1b (LC3), Beclin-1 gen, Atg5) in an erythroleukemia cell type.

A small molecule autophagy enhancer that specificly inhibits myotubularin-related phosphatase MTMR14; at concentrations of 2, 10, and 100 uM, AUTEN-67 inhibits MTMR14 by nearly 3%, 25%, and 70%, respectively.

Neriifolin (17β-Neriifolin), a cardiac glycoside extracted from the unripe fruit of Cerbera manghas, is a Na+K+-ATPase inhibitor with anticancer activity that inhibits cell proliferation by suppressing HOXA9-dependent gene expression and inducing apoptosis in the human acute myeloid cell line, THP-1.
