Silvestrol
Silvestrol is a potent and selective inhibitor of eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), disrupting cap-dependent translation. This activity induces both autophagy and caspase-dependent apoptosis, making it a valuable tool for studying oncology, translational control, and cell death mechanisms in vitro and in vivo cancer models.
