Cyclic Pifithrin-α hydrobromide
Chemical Name: 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-2-(4-methylphenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole hydrobromide
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
Cyclic Pifithrin-α hydrobromide is a cyclic analog of pifithrin-α (Cat. No. 1267), a small molecule inhibitor of p53. Prevents dexamethasone-induced cell death in murine thymocytes (EC50 = 2.01 μM). Sensitizes p53-deficient tumors to radiotherapy and chemotherapy; increases apoptosis in target cells when used in combination with antimicrotubule agents.Technical Data
