LY2181308 Uses, Dosage, Side Effects and more
LY2181308 is investigated in clinical trials for treating solid tumors. LY2181308 is a solid. LY2181308 is directed against a molecular target called survivin. LY2181308 is known to target baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 5. LY2181308 is an anti-sense oligonucleotide that potently downregulated survivin expression in human cancer cells derived from lung, colon, breast, prostate, ovary, cervix, skin and brain.

How LY2181308 works
LY2181308 is directed against a molecular target called survivin. Survivin belongs to a family of proteins, called Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins, which play a key role in the regulation of apoptosis and cell division. The protein is expressed in a majority of human cancers but not in normal adult tissues, making it a potential target for cancer therapies. LY2181308 potently downregulates survivin expression in human cancer cells derived from lung, colon, breast, prostate, ovary, cervix, skin and brain.
