(Z)-4EGI-1 is the Z-isomer of 4EGI-1 and is an inhibitor of eIF4E/eIF4G interaction and of translation initiation. (Z)-4EGI-1 effectively binds to eIF4E with an IC50 of 43.5 μM and a Kd value of 8.74 μM. (Z)-4EGI-1 has anticancer activity[1][2].

ChEBI: 4EGI-1 is a dichlorobenzene, a member of 1,3-thiazoles, a C-nitro compound, a monocarboxylic acid and a hydrazone.
