SG-094 is primarily utilized in the field of medical research, particularly in the study of cancer therapies. It functions as a potent inhibitor of the USP7 enzyme, which plays a crucial role in regulating tumor suppressor proteins. By inhibiting USP7, SG-094 helps to stabilize these proteins, thereby promoting cancer cell death and enhancing the efficacy of other anticancer treatments. Its application is significant in preclinical studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms of tumor growth and developing targeted therapies for various types of cancers. Additionally, SG-094 is used in biochemical assays to further explore the pathways involving USP7 and its impact on cellular processes.
