• Background:

  Verteporfin inhibits transcription by YAP/TAZ, IC50 = 2.5 µM, (via disruption of YAP-TEAD interaction) inhibiting autophagy and halting proliferation of cancer and cancer stem cell lines.1,2 Inhibits autophagosome formation.3 Reverses differentiation of Src-overexpressing embryonic stem cells.4 May be used to ablate unwanted neovasculature in the eye, esophageal mucosa, and elsewhere using light to create damaging free radicals.5
