Biological target:
Inotilone is a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor that inhibits COX-2 over COX-1.
In vitro activity:
Inotilone at 50 μM notably inhibited the activity of MMP-2 in A549 cells and the activity of MMP-9 in LLC cells (Fig. 4A). These results suggest that the anti-metastatic effect of inotilone is related to inhibition of the enzymatic degradative processes of cancer cell metastasis.

In vivo activity:
As shown in Fig. 5d, PRIM1 protein expression in the inotilone-treated BT-474 tumor-bearing mice was significantly suppressed compared with the control mice. These findings suggest that the suppression of PRIM1 in tumor tissues was involved in the inotilone-treated BT-474 xenografted tumor growth in mice.
