How to use

In Vitro:

STA-21 inhibits STAT3 DNA binding activity, STAT3 dimerization, and STAT3-dependent luciferase activity. Moreover, STA-21 reduces the survival of breast carcinoma cells with constitutive STAT3 signaling but has minimal effect on the cells in which constitutive STAT3 signaling is absent.
