More Info:

Biological target: BFA (brefeldin A) inhibited cell proliferation, induced G2/M cell cycle arrest, and stimulated cell apoptosis in K562 cells. Importantly, for the first time, this study revealed that BFA inhibited the activation of BCR-ABL and consequently inhibited the activation of its downstream signaling molecules in K562 cells.
