MW 294.4 Da, Purity >98%. Potent, cell-permeable inhibitor of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) (IC50 = 4.1 μM). Binds to the XIAP BIR3 protein and interacts with residues crucial for Smac and caspsase-9 binding. Inhibits cell growth, induces apoptosis, and activates caspase-9 in prostate cancer cells (IC50 = 3.7 - 5.7 μM); minimal effects on normal prostate cells (IC50 = 19.3 - 20.1 μM). Antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo.
