10058-F4 (403811-55-2) effectively disables c-Myc by inhibiting the c-Myc-Max association and function.It prevents the growth of fibroblasts in a c-Myc-dependent manner. Downregulates human telomerase reverse transcriptase and enhances chemosensitivity in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.10058-F4 induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and myeloid differentiation in human acute myeloid leukemia.Inhibits the MYCN/Max interaction leading to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and neuronal differentiation in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells.
A c-Myc inhibitor that induces apoptosis
ChEBI: 10058-F4 is a member of the class of thiazolidinones that is 2-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one which is substituted at position 5 by a (4-ethylphenyl)methylidene group. It is a cell permeable inhibitor of c-Myc-Max dimerization and exhibits antitumour effects in vivo. It downregulates c-Myc expression and upregulates CDK inhibitors, p21 and p27 resulting in the inhibition of proliferation, induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer and an antineoplastic agent. It is a thiazolidinone and an olefinic compound.
10058-F4 is a c-Myc inhibitor that induces cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. 10058-F4 is a cell-permeable thiazolidinone that specificallly inhibits the c-Myc-Max interaction and prevents transactivation of c-Myc target gene expression. 10058-F4 inhibits tumor cell growth in a c-Myc-dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo (64 μM using c-Myc transfected Rat1a fibroblasts).
