Thiostrepton is a natural peptide thiazole antibiotic that inhibits FoxM1 in mammalian cells, preventing the expression of FoxM1-regulated genes, which includes FoxM1 itself.1,2 Through this mechanism, thiostrepton prevents proliferation and induces apoptosis in human cancer cells.1 These effects correlate with the ability of thiostrepton to act as a proteasome inhibitor.3
