3-Formylchromone interacts with cysteine 38 in p65 protein and with cysteine 179 in IκBα kinase, leading to down-regulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-regulated gene products and sensitization of tumor cells.

This article has been retracted by the publisher. An investigation at MD Anderson determined that images were used to represent different experimental conditions. Specifically, the IKKα immunoblot from Fig. 2G was flipped horizontally and reused as the IKKβ immunoblot in Fig. 2H, and the IKKβ immunoblot in Fig. 2G was flipped horizontally and reused as the IKKα immunoblot in Fig. 2H.
