The Bcl-2 Inhibitor II, YC137, also referenced under CAS 810659-53-1, controls the biological activity of Bcl-2. This small molecule/inhibitor is primarily used for Activators/Inducers applications.
Synonym(s):
Bcl-2 Inhibitor II, YC137, 2-Methoxycarbonylamino-4-methylsulfanyl-butyric acid, 4-(4,9-dioxo-4,9-dihydronaphtho[2,3-d]thiazol-2-ylamino)-phenyl ester
A cell-permeable molecule that targets the BH3•domain interaction and selectively induces apoptosis in Bcl-2-overexpressing cells (<300 nM in MDA-MB435B breast cancer cells). Exhibits little effect on a variety of primary cells and Bcl-xL-dependent cells, even at a concentrations as high as 5 µM. Inhibits the binding of Bid BH3 to Bcl-2 thereby blocking the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2.
A cell-permeable naphthoquinone compound that selectively induces apoptosis of Bcl-2-overexpressing cells (<300 nM in MDA-MB435B breast cancer cells) with little effect on a variety of primary cells, and Bcl-xL-dependent cells, even at a concentration of 5 µM. Preferentially binds Bcl-2 (Ki = 1.3 µM) and disrupts its interaction with Bid BH3, thereby blocking the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2. Shown to induce the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and activate caspase-9.
