Abstract

Rocaglates are a diverse family of small molecules that inhibit eIF4A. Chu et al. undertake a comparative analysis of the bioactivity of >200 rocaglates and uncover nuances in their mechanisms of action. Rocaglates interfere with eIF4F release from the cap and exert a bystander effect to inhibit translation.
