Uses
rel-Zotatifin is the racemic isomer of Zotatifin, acts as an eIF4A?inhibitor with activity less than Zotatifin. Zotatifin (eFT226) is a potent, selective, and well-tolerated eIF4A inhibitor. Zotatifin promotes eIF4A binding to specific mRNA sequences with recognition motifs in the 5’-UTRs (IC50=2 nM) and interferes with the assembly of the eIF4F initiation complex[1].
