cbl-c-137 hydrochloride

CBL0137 hydrochloride (Curaxin-137 hydrochloride) is an inhibitor of the histone chaperone FACT, which also activates p53 and inhibits NF-κB with EC50 values ​​of 0.37 and 0.47 μM, respectively. CBL0137 hydrochloride functionally inactivates the complex that promotes chromatin transcription (FACT), thereby driving effects on p53 and NF-κB and promoting cancer cell death, and when used in combination with cisplatin, CBL0137 hydrochloride has potent anticancer activity against SCLC.

CBL0137 (Curaxin 137), a metabolically stable curaxin, activates p53 (EC50: 0.37 μM) and inhibits NF-κB (EC50: 0.47 μM). It functionally inactivates the facilitates chromatin transcription complex (FACT), driving the effects on p53 and NF-κB and promoting cancer cell death. CBL0137 has broad anticancer activity in mice when administered orally, eradicates drug-resistant cancer stem cells, and potentiates the efficacy of gemcitabine in preClinicalal models of pancreatic cancer.
