CYCLIC-PIFITHRIN-ALPHA Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Uses

Pifithrin-β (PFT β) is a potent p53 inhibitor with an IC50 of 23 μM.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-(4-methylphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole is a member of imidazoles.

General Description

A cell-permeable and very stable analog of Pifithrin-α (Cat. No. 506132), with similar biological function, but with reduced cytotoxicity. A chemical inhibitor of p53. Reversibly inhibits p53-dependent transactivation of p53-responsive genes; also reversibly blocks p53-mediated apoptosis. Acts as a P-gp modulator by changing relative substrate specificity of the transporter. This compound has been reported to be a potent STAT6 transcriptional inhibitor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: yes
