Product Data
Biological target:
Lucanthone hydrochloride is a novel acridine derivative which inhibits autophagic degradation.
In vitro activity:
Lucanthone downregulated protein expression of deubiquitinase DUB3, and a decreased expression level of DUB3 markedly led to enhance TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Moreover, lucanthone increased expression level of DR5 mRNA via downregulation of miR-216a-5p. Reference: Int J Mol Sci. 2021 Dec 21;23(1):17. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35008442/
In vivo activity:
In vivo lucanthone slowed mouse tumor growth: reduced numbers of Olig2+ glioma cells, normalized tumor vasculature, and reduced tumor hypoxia. Reference: Front Oncol. 2022 Apr 14;12:852940. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35494072/
