Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Monensin sodium salt is an antibiotic secreted by the bacteria Streptomyces cinnamonensis.
In vitro activity:
Monensin (10 nM) induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in TEM 4-18 cells. In addition, monensin rapidly induced swelling of Golgi apparatus and perturbed mitochondrial function. Reference: Sci Rep. 2019 Feb 4;9(1):1200. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30718715/
In vivo activity:
Accordingly, the anticancer effects of monensin on the establishment and progression of ovarian cancer was explored in vivo. SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells were injected subcutaneously into the flanks of nude mice. The tumor masses were retrieved on day 20, and the control group had significantly larger individual tumors and higher average tumor volume compared with monensin-treated groups (Fig. 5A and B). Besides, MEK1 SUMOylation was strengthened with increased monensin dosage in vivo, consistent with the data in vitro (Figs. 5C and 4D). Together, monensin effectively inhibited tumor growth in ovarian cancer xenograft model by MEK1 SUMOylation reinforcement.
