Introduction

The transcription factor STAT5 is integral to various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Dysregulation of STAT5 has been linked to several types of cancers and other diseases. Thus, identifying inhibitors that can specifically target STAT5 offers potential therapeutic avenues for treating these conditions.
