Product Data
Biological target:
PPM-18 (NSC 73233), a potent anti-inflammatory agent, inhibits nitric oxide synthase expression. PPM-18 is a potent inhibitor of iNOS expression by blocking the binding of NF-κB to promoter.
In vitro activity:
This study found that PPM-18 remarkably suppressed the proliferation and induced apoptosis in bladder cancer cells. Furthermore, a significant autophagic effect of PPM-18 on bladder cancer cells was also demonstrated, which profoundly promoted apoptotic cell death. Mechanistically, PPM-18 activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), whereas it repressed PI3K/AKT and mTORC1 pathways in bladder cancer cells. Inhibition of AMPK markedly relieved PPM-18-induced autophagy and apoptosis, indicating that PPM-18 is able to induce autophagy and apoptosis in bladder cancer cells via AMPK activation.

In vivo activity:
This study studied the effect of PPM-18, a chemically synthesized naphthoquinone derivative and also an anti-inflammatory agent, on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression in rat alveolar macrophages. PPM-18 protects mice against LPS-induced lethal toxicity. These results also indicate that PPM-18 is a potent inhibitor of iNOS expression by blocking the binding of NF-kappaB to promoter and exerts a beneficial effect in the mouse model of sepsis.
