TX-1918 may be useful as a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment in animal models. A cell-permeable arylidene-cyclopentenedione derived tyrphostin that acts as a potent inhibitor for eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF2K, IC50 = 440 nM). At higher concentrations, TX-1918 may act to inhibit other kinases, including proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (c-SRC, IC50 = 4.4 μM), protein kinase A and C (PKA and PKC, IC50 = 44 μM for each), and epidermal growth factor receptor kinase (EGFR-K, IC50 = 440 μM). Additionally, TX-1918 has been reported to exhibit potent anti-tumor activity in HepG2 (EC50 = 2.07) and HCT116 (EC50 = 230 muM) tumor cells, with greatly reduced mitochondrial- (≥5000-fold) and hepato-toxicity (≥90-fold) when compared with another tyrphostin, AG 17 (sc-200568).
