A novel Bcl-X_Linhibitor Z36 that induces autophagic cell death in Hela cells

Abstract excerpt

Inhibition of Bcl2 family proteins Bcl-X(L) and Bcl-2 represents a promising drug development strategy for cancer treatment by triggering apoptosis in cancer cells. Here we report a novel Bcl-X(L) inhibitor, Z36, which unexpectedly induces only autophagic cell death, but not apoptosis. This special property distinguishes Z36 from other previously reported Bcl-X(L) and Bcl-2 inhibitors that induce cancer cell...
