Eltrombopag directly activates BAK and induces apoptosis

Abstract Small molecule direct BAK activators can potentially be used for the development of anti-cancer drugs or as tools to study BAK activation. The thrombopoietin receptor agonist eltrombopag (Eltro) inhibits BAX activation and BAX-mediated apoptosis. Here we report that, in contrast to its func...
