| Application: | ICRF-193 has been used as a topoisomerase II (TOP2) inhibitor to treat mouse oocytes to investigate the role of TOP2 in meiosis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | ICRF-193 helps in the enhancement of cell cycle without chromosome segregation. It is considered as an important drug for chemo-differentiation therapy against acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). ICRF-193 serves as an inducer of differentiation between anticancer drugs. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | ICRF-193 induces a G2 checkpoint that is associated with an ATR-dependent inhibition of polo-like kinase 1 (plk1) activity and a decrease in cyclin B1 phosphorylation. Induces apoptosis in several cell lines including K562 and Molt-4 cells., ICRF-193 is a topoisomerase II inhibitor, more potent against topoisomerase II-β than topoisomerase II-α, and may in addition cause DNA strand breaks. |
| General description: | ICRF-193 is a bisdiopiperazine derivative. It inhibits topoisomerase II by forming a non-cleavable complex. |
