Description

General description

A cell-permeable benzophenanthridinone compound that acts as an allosteric and reversible inhibitor of mitochondrial glutaminase activity and represses the growth and invasive activity in glutaminase upregulated fibroblasts and in tumor cells (IC₅₀ ≤ 10 µM in NIH3T3 cells stably expressing Dbl, Cdc42-F28L, Rac-F28L or RhoC-F30L mutants and in SKBR3 and MDA-MB231 cancer cells). Shown to effectively shrink tumor size in P-493 B xenografted mouse model (200 µg per inj. i.p., 12 days).
