ALC67 is a N-acylated thiazolidine compound with promising anticancer activity that led to the recent discovery of a series of 3-propionyl thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters as a family of novel antiproliferative agents. It is an activator of caspase-9 involved apoptotic pathway, which is death receptor independent. | [Uses]
ALC67 is a cytotoxic thiazolidine compound with an IC50 of approximately 5 μM against liver, breast cancer, colon cancer, and endometrial cancer cell lines. ALC67 induces apoptosis in cancer cells by activating caspase-9 and causing cell cycle arrest at the SubG1/G1 phase, via a pathway that is independent of death receptors. ALC67 can be used in cancer research[1]. | [References]
