Induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase [4, 5, 10, 13]. Apoptosis inducer through aberrant activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CKDs) and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) [7-9, 10]. Immunosuppressor. Immunostimulant [15]. Antiproliferative agent for the prevention of restenosis [16]. TRAIL sensitizer [17] - Chemical. CAS: 33069-62-4. Formula: C47H51NO14. MW: 853.9.
