(Rac)-Mefloquine
(Rac)-Mefloquine ((Rac)-Mefloquin) is an orally active NF-κB inhibitor. (Rac)-Mefloquine inhibits the NF-κB and IKK signaling pathways, suppresses NF-κB-Luc luciferase activity, blocks the activation of p65 and IκBα, and reduces the expression of downstream target genes of NF-κB. (Rac)-Mefloquine activates apoptosis-related factors and induces apoptosis in tumor cells. (Rac)-Mefloquine functions as a tumor cell inhibitor. (Rac)-Mefloquine can be used for the research of colorectal cancer.
