Pifithrin-β hydrobromide

Research use only, not for human use.

A cyclic analog of Pifithrin-α and a small molecule inhibitor of p53; prevents dexamethasone-induced cell death in murine thymocytes with EC50 of 2.01 uM.

A cyclic analog of Pifithrin-α and a small molecule inhibitor of p53; prevents dexamethasone-induced cell death in murine thymocytes with EC50 of 2.01 uM, sensitizes p53-deficient tumors to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and increases apoptosis in cancer cells.

Pifithrin-α hydrobromide (PFT β hydrobromide), an inhibitor of the p53 protein, is regarded as a lead compound for cancer and neurodegenerative disease therapy. Pifithrin-α is very unstable in culture medium and rapidly converts to its condensation product pifithrin-β, the N-acetyl derivative. After 24 h, the viability assay shows that the pretreatments with 1 and 10 μM pifithrin-β exerts neuroprotective effects.
