THPN is an inducer of autophagy and a derivative of gallic acid (Cay-11846). It binds to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of Nur77 (Kd = 0.27 µM), which increases NIP3L-facilitated translocation of Nur77 to the mitochondria and induces autophagy in A375 melanoma cells. THPN reduces viability of L1210 and CEM leukemia...

Description: THPN is a Nur77 agonist. It also induces autophagy in melanoma cell lines. Target: Others. Smiles: C(CCCCCCCC)(=O)C1=CC(O)=C(O)C(O)=C1.
