ABT-199 is a BH3 mimetic that inhibits Bcl-2 but does not affect Bcl-xl. ABT-199 exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic activity, inducing Bim-mediated apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells. ABT-199 also induces cell death and inhibits tumor growth in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) models in vitro,...

Description: Venetoclax (ABT-199) is a Bcl-2 inhibitor (Ki<0.01 nM) with potent, selective, and orally active properties. Venetoclax has a 3-order-of-magnitude lower affinity for Bcl-xL and Bcl-W (Kis=48/245 nM). Venetoclax induces autophagy and apoptosis. Target: Autophagy, BCL. Smiles:...

B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 2 (Bcl-2) is an anti-apoptotic protein that controls cell survival by binding the BH3 domains of pro-death BAD and BAK proteins and preventing permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane. This protein is tightly regulated for the homeostasis between cell growth and cell death. The...
