Submit ReviewPifithrin-μ
Description: Inhibitor of p53-mitochondrial binding
Alternative Names: NSC 303580
Chemical Name: 2-Phenylethynesulfonamide
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Pifithrin-μ
Pifithrin-μ inhibits p53 binding to mitochondria by reducing its affinity for antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. Displays no effect on the transactivational or cell cycle checkpoint control function of p53. Potentially increases reprogramming efficiency of human somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by silencing p53. Pifithrin-μ reduces cell death induced by γ-radiation in vitro and protects mice from doses of radiation that cause lethal hematopoietic syndrome. Selectively inhibits heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) activity.

Cell Cycle & DNA Damage Repair Poster
In normal cells, each stage of the cell cycle is tightly regulated, however in cancer cells many genes and proteins that are involved in the regulation of the cell cycle are mutated or over expressed. This poster summarizes the stages of the cell cycle and DNA repair. It also highlights strategies for enhancing replicative stress in cancer cells to force mitotic catastrophe and cell death.
