Biological Activity
INI-43 is a cell penetrant and potent inhibitor of Kpnb1-mediated nuclear import th at cancer cell death via a G2–M cell cycle arrest followed by apoptosis. INI-43 inhibits the nuclear localization of Kpnb1 as well as th at of its cargo transcription factors, NFY, AP-1, p65, and NFAT. INI-43 exhibit specific cytotoxicity toward cancer cells. INI-43 inhibits tumor growth in cancer xenograft models.', 'INI-43 is also known as (3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)pyrrolo[5,4-b]quinoxalin-2-amine). It has the ability to prevent the development of dermatologically xenografted esophageal and cervical tumor cells. INI-43 can also decrease activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcriptional activity, induced by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA).
