Description : TW-37 is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of BCL-2 (Ki = 290 nmol/L), which attenuates BCL-2 activation and inhibits multiple BCL-2 family members including BCL-XL (Ki = 1,110 nmol/L) and MCL-1 (Ki = 260 nmol/L). It binds to the BCL-2 homology domain 3 (BH3) groove of BCL-2 preventing the heterodimerization of proapoptotic proteins (such as Bid, Bim, and Bad) with BCL-2 and subsequently allowing them to induce apoptosis. Recent studies indicate TW-37 is able to inhibit the growth of a broad range of cancer cells (such as breast, prostate, lymphoma, and pancreatic cancer), since it induces S-phase cell cycle arrest with regulation of several important cell cycle related genes, including p27, p57, E2F-1, cdc25A, CDK4, cyclin A, cyclin D1 and cyclin E.
