Mcl-1-IN-16

Mcl-1-IN-16 is an effective macrocyclic myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) inhibitor with a Ki of below 0.08 nM. Mcl-1-IN-16 maintains high selectivity (>50,000-fold) for Mcl-1 over other antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. Mcl-1-IN-16 leads to the activation of caspase-3/7, thereby initiating cell apoptosis. Mcl-1-IN-16 achieves tumor regression in a lung cancer-derived tumor xenograft mice model. Mcl-1-IN-16 can be used in the research of solid tumor such as nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [1].
