Gajendran et al. show that a C21-steroidal derivative called A671, 3-O-chloroacetyl-gagamine, suppresses the growth of T-cell lymphoma in mice. They find that A671 activates SAP18 to suppress the transcription of SIRT3, inhibiting cell growth. This study presents a new pharmacological target pathway for T-cell lymphoma.
