Difopein TFA, a specific and competitive inhibitor of 14-3-3 protein (a highly conserved eukaryotic regulatory molecule), blocking the ability of 14-3-3 to bind to target proteins and inhibits 14-3-3/Ligand interactions. Difopein TFA is not cell permeable. Difopein TFA leads to induction of apoptosis and enhances the ability of Cisplatin to kill cells[1][2].
