YCJ-02

YCJ-02 is a selective Topoisomerase I (Top I) inhibitor. YCJ-02 can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest. YCJ-02 can induce DNA damage and increaseγ-H2AX levels. YCJ-02 can promote Top I deqradation via a ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway. YCJ-02 increases the expressions of pro-apoptotic proteins Bad, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3. YCJ-02 shows broad-spectrum antitumor activity. YCJ-02 can be used for the research of cancer, such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) [1].
