Description
OTX-015 is an inhibitor of bromodomains (BRD) proteins such as BRD2/3/4; it is currently in clinical trials as a potential treatment for leukemias and other cancers. OTX-015 displays anticancer chemotherapeutic activity, inhibiting cell growth and tumor growth in various animal models, including anaplastic large cell lymphoma. This compound also induces apoptosis in activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells.
