eIF4E/eIF4G Interaction Inhibitor, 4EGI-1, may act to amplify TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand)-induced apoptosis via down-regulation of FLIPS/L and induction of DR5. These characteristics of the compound seem to be independent of it′s ability to inhibit cap-dependent protein translation which is caused by disruption of the eIF4E/eIF4G association through binding to eIF4E. It has been shown that while eIF4E/eIF4G Interaction Inhibitor, 4EGI-1 displaces eIF4G from eIF4E, it consequentially enhances 4E-BP association both in vivo and in vitro. 4E-BPs regulated the eIF4E/eIF4G complex which has a central role in the regulation of gene expression at the level of translation initiation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from YiYi, T. et al. (PubMed 25115391) found that 4EGI-1 (eIF4E/eIF4G Interaction Inhibitor) effectively inhibits breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) through selectively reducing translation persistent in breast (CSCs). Furthermore, 4EGI-1 selectively inhibits translation of mRNAs encoding NANOG, OCT4, CXCR4, c-MYC and VEGF in breast CSC tumors. -SCBT Publication Review
