N-[3-(benzylamino)-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl]-N-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]acetamide

Biological Activity

RIPGBM is a selective inducer of apoptosis in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cancer stem cells (CSCs) with an EC50 of ≤500 nM[1]. RIPGBM induces caspase 1-dependent apoptosis by binding to receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) and acting as a molecular switch, which reduces the formation of a prosurvival RIPK2/ TAK1 complex and increases the formation of a proapoptotic RIPK2/caspase 1 complex[1].
