Classifications ⬆ ⬇

Therapeutic Classification: antineoplastics

Pharmacologic Classification: nuclear export inhibitors

Indications ⬆ ⬇

High Alert

  • Inhibits exportin 1, which inhibits nuclear export of tumor suppression proteins, growth regulators, and mRNAs of oncogenic proteins. This action leads to accumulation of tumor suppression proteins in the nucleus of the tumor cell, reduction in oncogenic proteins, and tumor cell apoptosis.
Therapeutic effects:
  • Decreased progression of multiple myeloma.
