Product Description
Antitumor and anti-HIV agent. Induces apoptosis by activating mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Inhibits NF-κB activation and NF-κB-regulated gene expression induced by carcinogens and inflammatory stimuli. Decreases expression of Bcl-2 and cyclin D1. Potent proteasome activator.
