Bafilomycin A1

Bafilomycin A1 induces caspase-independent cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma cells via targeting of autophagy and MAPK pathways. Bafilomycin A1 is a vacuolar H+-ATPase inhibitor (IC50: 0.44 nM). It is also found to inhibit autophagy while induces apoptosis.Bafilomycin A1 triggers proliferative potential of senescent cancer cells in vitro and in NOD/SCID mice.
