Supplier: Apexbio Technology LLC A42065.1
Pifithrin- (PFT CAS 63208-82-2) is a synthetic water-soluble inhibitor targeting the tumor suppressor protein p53 Initially identified by its ability to block activation of p53-responsive genes PFT reduces apoptosis in transformed mouse embryonic fibroblasts (expressing E1a and ras) in a p53-dependent manner Additionally PFT prevents DNA damage-induced growth arrest in human diploid fibroblasts and promotes G2-phase cell cycle arrest following -irradiation It also decreases the expression of pluripotency marker Nanog affecting self-renewal potential in embryonic stem cells without compromising viability Thus PFT serves as a valuable research tool to investigate p53-mediated cellular pathways
