Bi-magnolignan, a novel BRD4 inhibitor with strong antitumor activity
April 24, 2025
BRD4, a member of the BET protein family, plays a critical role in cancer progression by regulating oncogenes, particularly MYC, which drives tumor growth but is difficult to target directly. Researchers from Macau University of Science and Technology reported on the antiproliferative activity of bi-magnolignan, a novel BRD4-targeting compound isolated from the leaves of Magnolia officinalis.
