Pifithrin-α, Cyclic, hydrobromide (Cat.No:I003832) is a cyclic form of Pifithrin-α, a small molecule inhibitor of p53-mediated transcriptional activation. It blocks the interaction between p53 and its downstream target proteins. Pifithrin-α, Cyclic, hydrobromide is commonly used in research to study p53-related cellular processes and potential therapeutic interventions in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
