Bioymifi

Bioymifi (DR5 Activator), a potent TRAIL receptor DR5 activator, binds to the extracellular domain (ECD) of DR5 with a K_d of 1.2 μM. Bioymifi can act as a single agent to induce DR5 clustering and aggregation, leading to apoptosis^[1]. In Vitro: Bioymifi (3-10 µM) induces caspase-8-dependent apoptosis. At a 10-μM concentration, Bioymifi induces processing of caspase-3 into smaller fragments^[1].
Bioymifi induces apoptosis via death receptor DR5. Bioymifi promotes DR5 aggregation and activation. Bioymifi shares the same DR5-dependent extrinsic apoptotic pathway with TRAIL. Binding of bioymifi to DR5 recruits FADD, which in turn engages with the apical caspase-8 to form death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) Bioymifi (3-10 µM) induces caspase-8-dependent apoptosis. At a 10-μM concentration, Bioymifi induces processing of caspase-3 into smaller fragments^[1].
