BML283 (562867-96-3) is a selective activator of the Tumor Specific M2 Isoform of Pyruvate Kinase (PKM2) – AC50?= 111nM.1?PKM2 activity is downregulated in most cancer cells leading to a decrease in catabolic metabolism and an increase in anabolic metabolism.2,3?BML283 is an important tool for studying the effects of PKM2 and cancer metabolism.

ChEBI: 1-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-ylsulfonyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonylpiperazine is a sulfonamide.
