Biochem/physiol Actions

INI-43 is a cell penetrant and potent inhibitor of Kpnb1-mediated nuclear import that cancer cell death via a G2–M cell cycle arrest followed by apoptosis. INI-43 inhibits the nuclear localization of Kpnb1 as well as that of its cargo transcription factors, NFY, AP-1, p65, and NFAT. INI-43 exhibit specific cytotoxicity toward cancer cells. INI-43 inhibits tumor growth in cancer xenograft models.
INI-43 is also known as (3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)pyrrolo[5,4-b]quinoxalin-2-amine). It has the ability to prevent the development of dermatologically xenografted esophageal and cervical tumor cells. INI-43 can also decrease activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcriptional activity, induced by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA).

Karyopherin beta 1 (Kpnβ1) is a nuclear transport receptor that imports cargoes into the nucleus. Recently, elevated Kpnβ1 expression was found in certain cancers and Kpnβ1 silencing with siRNA was shown to induce cancer cell death. This study aimed to
