JR4-187 is an orally active, copper-dependent anticancer agent. JR4-187 downregulates genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, MYC targets and E2F targets in cancer cells, while upregulates genes involved in the TNF-α signaling pathway, p53 pathway and KRAS signaling pathway, and downregulates CTR1 protein. JR4-187 induces ROS production, apoptosis, copper-dependent cytotoxicity, and exhibits selective cytotoxicity against KRAS-mutant cancer cells. JR4-187 is well tolerated in mouse models of pancreatic cancer. JR4-187 can be used in research related to cancers such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, colon cancer and rectal cancer.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
