Product Data
Biological target:
Levomycin is a bioactive chemical.
In vitro activity:
Targeting the HIF-1α/PD-L1 axis in tumor cells reactivated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and caused tumor rejection. The HIF-1α inhibitor echinomycin potentiated the cancer immunotherapeutic effects of anti-CTLA-4 therapy, with efficacy comparable to that of anti-CTLA-4 plus anti-PD-1 antibodies. Reference: J Clin Invest. 2022 May 2;132(9):e150846. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35239514/
In vivo activity:
Echinomycin treatment can effectively suppress oncogenic RAS-driven leukemia cell proliferation, using both human leukemia cell lines and a mouse xenograft model. These data suggest that inhibiting the hypoxia pathway could be an effective treatment approach and that echinomycin is a promising targeted drug to attenuate oncogenic RAS-induced cancer phenotypes.
