Application
Pifithrin-μ has been used:
- to treat microglial cell line to analyse its neuroprotective effect on M1-like and M2-like phenotype
- as heat shock protein (HSP)-70 inhibitor, to treat transfected Marc-145 cells
- to inhibit heat shock cognate 70 (Hsc70) to elucidate heat shock chaperones mouse embryonic stem cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pifithrin-μ is an inhibitor of p53 binding and anti-apoptotic, which directly inhibits p53 binding to mitochondria as well as to Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 proteins.
Pifithrin-μ is an inhibitor of p53 binding and anti-apoptotic, which directly inhibits p53 binding to mitochondria as well as to Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 proteins. PFTμ rescues cells from lethal γ-irradiation-induced cell death. Because pifithrin-μ shuts down only the p53-mitochondrial pathway without affecting the transcriptional functions of p53, it is superior to pifithrin-α.
Pifithrin-μ(PFT-μ) has neuroprotective capabilities against cell death in a preclinical model of hypoxia-ischemia (HI)-induced neonatal encephalopathy. It inhibits nuclear factor-ΙB (NF-ΙB) pathway by inhibiting the interaction of molecular chaperone heat shock protein (HSP)-70 with its substrates.

The presynaptic proteins MUNC18-1, syntaxin-1, and SNAP25 drive SNARE-mediated synaptic vesicle fusion and are also required for neuronal viability. Their absence triggers rapid, cell-autonomous, neuron-specific degeneration, unrelated to synaptic vesicle deficits. The underlying cell death pathways remain poorly understood. Here

The multifunctional, stress-inducible molecular chaperone HSP70 has important roles in aiding protein folding and maintaining protein homeostasis. HSP70 expression is elevated in many cancers, contributing to tumor cell survival and resistance to therapy. We have determined that a small molecule
