  • Biological Activity
Description in vitro: Kevetrin activates p53 which in turn induces the expressions of p21 and PUMA (p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis), thereby inhibiting cancer cell growth and causing tumor cell apoptosis. Kevetrin may be effective in drug-resistant cancers with mutated p53. p53 tumor suppressor, a transcription factor regulating the expression of many stress response genes and mediating various anti-proliferative processes, is often mutated in cancer cells. in vivo: Kevetrin has demonstrated potent anti-tumor efficacy against various carcinoma xenograft models: lung, breast, colon, prostate and squamous cell carcinoma, and in a leukemia tumor model. In drug-resistant cell lines, Kevetrin has shown excellent activity, galvanizing the Company to focus on Kevetrin's development potential in this area.
