Replaces Prod. #: BML-GR301
Potent antitumor agent. Inhibitor of DNA-topoisomerase I. Activates p53 resulting in upregulated expression of TRAIL-R2 (DR5) and Bak to overcome TRAIL resistance in Bax-deficient human colon carcinoma cells. Inhinbits Tat-mediated transactivation of HIV-1. Induces apoptosis in osteosarcoma and hepatoma cells. Suppresses nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis.
