J166816, (±)-JQ1 has been used to study its effect on adipogenesis, by analyzing the its impact on the regulation of genes involved in this process especially peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-g), the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBPa) and, STAT5A and B. JQ1 has been used in drug binding assays as a chemical inhibitor of BRD4 to study the CRBN’s substrate recruiting function in mouse and human.Biochemical/physiological effects:(+/-)-JQ1 is a Brd4 inhibitor.(±)-JQ1 is a Brd4 inhibitor. JQ1 is known to suppress cell proliferation and therefore, can be used as a therapeutic drug for a number of cancers including multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia., mg
