Obatoclax (803712-79-0) is a novel Bcl-2 homology domain-3 (BH3) mimetic.1?Inhibits primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progenitor cell proliferation (IC50=0.18 μM) and induces apoptosis in primary AML cells (IC50= 3.6 μM).2?Obatoclax synergizes with other agents such as chloroquine3?and cytarabine4?in cytotoxicity against a variety of cancer cells.
