IV-23

IV-23 (Compound 20) is a potent Noxa mediated apoptosis inducer, and it is a promising anticancer agent with potential. IV-23 inhibits cell growths in vitro and in vivo, reduces colony formation, arrests cell cycle at M phase, and induces esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)[1].

IV-23 (Compound 20) shows a strong inhibition against the ESCCs in a concentration depend manner, the IC50 values against the Kyse30 and Kyse450 cell lines were all less than 2 μM, presented in a dose-dependent manner. IV-23 triggeres caspases related apoptosis in ESCC cells[1]. IV-23 induces G2/M phase arrest[1].
