Product Data
Biological target:
Iberin (NSC 321801), a sulfoxide analogue of sulforaphane, is a naturally occurring member of isothiocyanate family. Iberin inhibits cell survival with an IC50 of 2.3 μM in HL60 cell. Iberin induces apoptosis.
In vitro activity:
As such, this study performed a slide biofilm assay in order to determine if iberin was able to reduce biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa through the downregulation of pel and psl. Figure 5 shows that the sample treated with 500 μM iberin had significantly less biofilm formation than the control sample in ABTGC. This suggests that iberin may be used not only as an antipathogenic agent but also as an antibiofilm agent. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2014 Nov;58(11):6648-59. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25155599/
In vivo activity:
The in vivo tumorgenesis study further evidenced the protection of Iberin against OC development. Besides, Iberin displayed a synergistic effect on the enhancement of chemo-sensitivity in OC cells. In summary, this study demonstrates the anti-tumor effect of Iberin on OC and its potential as a therapeutic agent against OC in the future.
