Description
SC-2001 is a MCL-1 inhibitor. SC-2001 is an Obatoclax analog that inhibits STAT3 phosphorylation through enhancing SHP-1 expression and induces apoptosis in human breast cancer cells. SC-2001 overcomes STAT3-mediated sorafenib resistance through RFX-1/SHP-1 activation in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Uses
SC-2001 is a compound structurally related to obatoclax that has better antitumor effects than obatoclax in liver cancer cell lines, downregulating Mcl-1 protein levels, inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation, inducing apoptosis, and enhancing SHP1 expression and activity.
