MKT 077
Chemical Name: 1-Ethyl-2-[[3-ethyl-5-(3-methyl-2(3H)-benzothiazolylidene)-4-oxo-2-thiazolidinylidene]methyl]-pyridinium chloride
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
MKT 077 is an occupies mortalin-2 (mot-2), a member of the Hsp70 family, at its p53 binding site and enables p53 translocation to the nucleus. Selectively cytotoxic; causes growth arrest of cancer cells in culture. Also inhibits telomerase activity and cross-links F-actin.Technical Data
