It induces apoptosis in BGC-823 cells, causes mitochondrial dysfunction, and arrests the cell cycle at the G2 M phase. Additionally, Apoptosisinducer 25 exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic properties in rats.

TRPM7-IN-1 (compound SUD) is a benzamide-urea derivative and an effective inhibitor of TRPM7. This compound induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF-7 and BGC-823 cells, reducing their migration capabilities. It decreases vimentin expression while increasing E-cadherin expression. TRPM7-IN-1 reduces TRPM7-like currents and inhibits TRPM7 expression by activating the PI3K Akt signaling pathway. This compound shows potential as a therapeutic agent for reducing breast and gastric cancer metastasis by targeting TRPM7 expression and activity.
