Vacquinol-1 dihydrochloride

Vacquinol-1 (NSC13316) dihydrochloride is a MKK4-specific activator that activates MAPK pathways[1]. Vacquinol-1 dihydrochloride specifically induces human glioblastoma cell (GC) death, attenuates tumor progression and prolongs survival in a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) mouse model[2]. Vacquinol-1 dihydrochloride also induces apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)cell[3].
