Biochem/physiol Actions

Dequalinium chloride is a selective blocker of apamin-sensitive K+ channels and inhibitor of XIAP (X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein). Has been shown to induce cytotoxicity in human acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cells through disturbance of mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and downregulation of Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.
