4EGI-1(Cat No.:I003126) is a small molecule inhibitor that specifically targets eIF4E/eIF4G interaction, disrupting the eukaryotic translation initiation complex. It inhibits the binding of eIF4E to eIF4G, preventing the assembly of the translation initiation complex and subsequently inhibiting protein synthesis. 4EGI-1 has been shown to selectively inhibit the translation of oncogenic mRNAs, leading to the suppression of tumor growth in various cancer cell lines and xenograft models. Additionally, 4EGI-1 has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It has potential as a therapeutic agent for cancer and inflammatory diseases.
