Product Data
Biological target:
Musk ketone increases activity of glutathione S-transferase.
In vitro activity:
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of musk ketone in GC cells. The present study indicated that musk ketone exerted significant anticancer effects on GC cells. Low dosage of musk ketone significantly suppressed the proliferation and colony formation of AGS and HGC‑27 cells. Cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were induced by musk ketone. Furthermore, microarray data indicated that musk ketone treatment led to downregulation of various genes, including sorbin and SH3 domain containing 2 (SORBS2).

In vivo activity:
A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model was established by a transient filament model, and rats were treated with musk ketone (0.9 or 1.8 μM). Musk ketone reduced cerebral ischemic injury in a dose-dependent manner in rats. In addition, NSCs treated with musk ketone showed enhanced proliferation and differentiation along with increased PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activation.
