azd-5991

AZD-5991, an antitumor compound, is a highly selective, potent and direct MCL-1 inhibitor that induces rapid apoptosis in cancer cells by activating the Bak-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, used for multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer.

AZD-5991 Racemate is the racemate of AZD-5991. (Rac)-AZD-5991 is a novel Mcl-1 inhibitor with IC50 <3 nM in FRET assay and induces upregulation of BCL2,BCL-XL, CMYC and MCL1 in AML cell lines.

AZD5991 is a potent and selective Mcl-1 inhibitor aimed at treating hematological cancers. As a well-designed macrocyclic compound, AZD5991 exhibits sub-nanomolar affinity for Mcl-1. It primarily inhibits the myeloid cell leukemia-1 protein (Mcl-1; Bcl2-L-3), showing potential pro-apoptotic and anti-tumor activity. AZD5991 binds to Mcl-1, preventing its interaction with certain pro-apoptotic proteins, leading to apoptosis in cells overexpressing Mcl-1.
