Forchlorfenuron is a synthetic cytokinin that inhibits septins and exhibits anti-parasitic, anticancer, and anti-angiogenic activities. Forchlorfenuron induces polymerization of filaments, causing paralysis in Schistosoma. This compound also inhibits proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells by inducing degradation of HIF-1α in a proteasome-dependent manner. Forchlorfenuron is commonly used as a plant growth regulator.
