Colitis-associated cancer (CAC) accounts for approximately 15% of IBD patient mortalities. However, currently available anti-CAC drugs possess many disadvantages including safety, specificity and side effects. Therefore, the development of novel anti-CAC compounds is imperative. HLJ2 was a monomeric compound synthesized by our institute and reported to have an effect on ulcer colitis.
