Apoptosis inducer 52

Apoptosis inducer 52 is a derivative of flutamide that induces apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. Apoptosis inducer 52 promotes apoptosis by activating both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways, without generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) . Apoptosis inducer 52 triggers caspase 3/7 activity and the externalization of phosphatidylserine, leading to cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Apoptosis inducer 52 can be used for the research of androgen receptor (AR) -dependent and -independent prostate cancers and leukemia[1].
