General description

A cell-permeable hydroxyindolinone compound that acts as a selective antagonist of survivin. Induces mitotic arrest and blocks cell cycle at G2/M phase (~40 µM in HeLA cells) leading to apoptotic cell death. Shown to bind to a specific cavity adjacent to the interface involved in the dimerization of survivin. Binding is specific only to native survivin and does not affect any mutant forms. Inhibits HCT116 cell proliferation independently of their p53 status and reduces tumor volume in xenograft models in a dose-dependent manner (5 to 15 mg/kg).
