General description
A cell-permeable dibromocarbazole-piperazinyl derivative that displays anti-apoptotic properties. Reported to effectively block Bid-induced cytochrome c release from HeLa cell mitochondria (~80% inhibition at 5 µM) by inhibiting Bax channel activity.
A cell-permeable dibromocarbazolo-piperazinyl derivative that displays anti-apoptotic properties. Effectively blocks Bid-induced cyctochrome c release from HeLa cell mitochondria (~80% inhibition at 5 µM) by inhibiting Bax channel-forming activity (IC50 = 520 nM in a liposome channel assay).

Doxorubicin remains an essential component of many cancer regimens, but its use is limited by lethal cardiomyopathy, which has been difficult to target, owing to pleiotropic mechanisms leading to apoptotic and necrotic cardiac cell death. Here we show that BAX
