Description
  • Potent anti-cancer compound. Induces apoptosis in normal and tumor cell lines [1, 5].
  • DNA Topoisomerase II activity inhibitor. Increases Topo II-mediated DNA breakage primarily by inhibiting the ability of the enzyme to religate cleaved nucleic acid molecules. Does not lead to immediate block of DNS synthesis, induces a progressive inhibition of DNA replication [2, 4, 6].
  • p53 activator [3].
  • Blocks the cell cycle between the end of the S phase and the early G2 phase [2, 8].
  • Oncoprotein Mdm2 synthesis inhibitor [7].
  • Apoptosis inducer through the cytochrome c/Apaf-1/caspase-9 pathway and the Fas-mediated death signaling pathway [9, 10].
  • Cell cycle checkpoint activator. Affects gene expression at different levels (chromatin remodeling, transcription and alternative splicing) [11, 14, 15].
  • Chemotherapeutic compound used in cancers [12, 13].
  • Used in conditioning regimen prior to a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplantation [16].
  • Highly effective in mobilizing stem cells [17]
