Girolline is a protein synthesis inhibitor and a functional modulator of eIF5A. Girolline induces ribosome stalling by interfering with the binding of eIF5A to ribosomes. Girolline also inhibits the production of IL-6 and IL-8, and induces cell cycle arrest in tumor cells. Girolline is applicable to research related to inflammatory diseases, solid tumors, leukemia and malaria[1][2][3][4].
