What does it do?

Selinexor is classified as an anti-malignant tumor agent, primarily used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. This component prevents the proliferation of cancer cells by regulating the transport of proteins within cells.

Selinexor is a protein export inhibitor that regulates the transport of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm. This action helps tumor suppressor proteins remain in the nucleus of cancer cells, thus inhibiting their growth and division.
