How Declopramide works
Declopramide is a member of the N-substituted benzamide class of DNA repair inhibitors. There are two possible mechanisms of action of declopramide, with one involving (nuclear localizing factor kappaB) NFkB and the other involving the activation of the caspase cascade via the mitochondrial pathway, both of which lead to cell death (apoptosis). Declopramide may also increase the susceptibility of cancer cells to traditional radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment. It is proposed that G2/M cell cycle block is induced by pathways other than the protein 53 (p53) pathway.
