TS-IN-8 is a potent thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. TS-IN-8 can induce apoptosis and cause cell cycle arrest at the G2/M in MCF-7 cells. TS-IN-8 can induce nuclear morphological changes. TS-IN-8 can increase intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. TS-IN-8 can activate intrinsic apoptosis pathways by regulating apoptosis-related proteins such as the bax/bcl-2 ratio and caspase activation. TS-IN-8 can be used for the study of breast cancer[1].
