Product name:ABT-263
CAS:923564-51-6
Molecular Formula:C47H55ClF3N5O6S3
Description:ABT-263 is a small molecule that is designed to restore apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, by blocking the function of pro-survival Bcl-2 family proteins. Apoptosis is a natural process by which damaged or unwanted cells, including those that are cancerous, die and are cleared from the body. The Bcl-2 family proteins, which are expressed at high levels in many tumors, play a central role in regulating apoptosis and, consequently, are thought to impact tumor formation, tumor growth and resistance to treatment.
