Marinopyrrole A (Maritoclax) is a potent and selective inhibitor of Bcl-2 family member Mcl-1, originally isolated from marine streptomycetes for its antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcusaureus. Marinopyrrole A directly binds to Mcl-1 and targets it for proteasomal degradation. Marinopyrrole A induced apoptosis in Mcl-1-dependent cancer cells and sensitized cancer cells to ABT-737.
