Biochem/physiol Actions ICRF-193 induces a G2 checkpoint that is associated with an ATR-dependent inhibition of polo-like kinase 1 (plk1) activity and a decrease in cyclin B1 phosphorylation.1 Induces apoptosis in several cell lines including K562 and Molt-4 cells.2,,,1 ICRF-193 is a topoisomerase II inhibitor, more potent against topoisomerase II-β than topoisomerase II-α3, and may in addition cause DNA strand breaks.4 |
