Biochem/physiol Actions

Bioymifi induces apoptosis via the Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) death receptor DR5 independent of TRAIL. Bioymifi binds selectively to the extracellular domain of DR5 with little binding affinity to DR4, promoting DR5 aggregation and activation. Bioymifi caused apoptosis and cell death in a variety of human cancer cell lines including T98G human glioblastoma cells, lung cancer cell lines H460 and H1155, the cervical cancer cell line HeLa, the osteosarcoma cell line U2OS, the pancreatic carcinoma cell line Miapaca and the colon cancer cell line HT29.
