General description

A cell permeable, Sulindac analog with IC50=2.4 µM for RXRα binding, and unlike other NSAIDs, is inactive toward COX2 and COX1 even at 1 mM. The compound displays potent inhibition of RXRα dependent AKT Activation in both PC3 and A549 cells, and is RXRα but not RXRγ expression dependent as shown in PC3 cells. It is further shown to inhibit the interaction of RXRα/Δ80 with p85α either in the absence or presence of TNF-α. Induces PARP cleavage and caspase-8 activation at 50 µM when used with TNF-α. Furthermore, it almost completely suppresses colony formation of HeLa/RXRα/1-134 and RXRα/Δ80 cells at 25 µM in vitro, and exhibits potent inhibition of tumor growth in vivo when dosed at 60mg/kg.
