MG-002 is an orally active eIF4A inhibitor. MG-002 non-productively traps the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) onto RNA, hindering the recruitment and scanning of ribosomes, thereby inhibiting mRNA translation. MG-002 selectively inhibits the growth and metastasis formation of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumors and induces cell apoptosis. MG-002 significantly inhibits the protein expression of c-MYC and cyclin D1. MG-002 can be used for research on TNBC[1].
