Description

General description

A cell-permeable and reversible inhibitor of PIM1 kinase (IC₅₀ = 43 nM), PI 3-K (IC₅₀ = 3.8 µM) and phospholipase A₂ (IC₅₀ = 2 µM). Also inhibits mitochondrial ATPase, phosphodiesterases, and protein kinase C. Induces apoptosis in K562, Molt-4, Raji, and MCAS tumor cell lines. Reported to activate sirtuins and promote the survival of eukaryotic cells.
