Apoptosis inducer 50

Apoptosis inducer 50 (Compound 5e) is an apoptosis inducer as well as an autophagy inducer agent. Apoptosis inducer 50 exhibits potent and selective anti-cancer activity against triple-negative breast cancer cells and metastatic colon cancer cells. Apoptosis inducer 50 upregulates the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins (Bax, Bim, cleaved Caspase-9) and downregulates the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein (BCL-XL). Apoptosis inducer 50 upregulates key autophagy markers such as Beclin-1 and ATG5, and enhances the conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II., Apoptosis inducer 50 arrests cancer cells in the G1/S phase by upregulating the expression of p21 and p27 while downregulating Cyclin D1. Apoptosis inducer 50 increases the level of ROS.
