Description
ASTX660 is an inhibitor of apoptosis proteins found to target BIR3 domain of cIAP1/2 and XIAP through a TNFalpha dependent mechanism in melanoma, breast cancer, and lymphoma cell studies. In a breast cancer xenograft model ASTX660 inhibited tumor growth while displaying no significant adverse effects. Treatment of squamous cell carcinoma xenograft models with combination of ASTX660 and radiotherapy showed synergistic effect of delayed tumor growth.
