    Product Description

    Apoptozole is an inhibitor of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70; 65% inhibition at 200 µM) that acts by blocking its ATPase activity.1 It does not act on Hsp40, Hsp60, or Hsp90. Apoptozole dose-dependently induces apoptosis in cancer cells (IC50 = 5-7 µM).1 It prevents the association of Hsp70 with apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 and triggers caspase activation in HeLa cells.1 Apoptozole (10 mg/kg, i.p.) prevents the growth of A549, RKO, and HeLa cell xenografts in mice without significant loss of body weight.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
