STA-21 is a selective STAT3 inhibitor.In cells, STA-21 inhibits Stat3 DNA binding activity, Stat3 dimerization, and Stat3-dependent luciferase activity. STA-21 remarkably inhibits the growth and the survival of the breast carcinoma cells MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435s, and MDA-MB-468 that express persistently activated Stat3. [1] In RH30 and RD2 cells, STA-21 also inhibits cell viability and growth and induced apoptosis through caspases 3, 8 and 9 pathways.
