XIAP, or the X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein, is the most extensively studied member within the IAP gene family. It possesses the capability to impede apoptosis through direct inhibition of caspase activity. Various kinds of cancers overexpress XIAP to enable cancer cells to avoid apoptosis. Consequently, the inhibition of XIAP holds significant clinical implications for the development of anti-tumor medications and the treatment of cancer. In this study, sterigmatocystin, a natural compound obtained from the
Chen et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
