Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Rocaglamide is the first cyclopenta[b]benzofuran derivative (flavagline), isolated from Aglaia elliptifolia in 1982 by King and colleagues based on its antileukemic activity. Like other flavaglines, rocaglamide displays potent insecticidal, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities.

Biological target:
Rocaglamide (RocA) is a heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) activation inhibitor with an IC50 of ~50 nM.
In vitro activity:
This study concludes that combination treatment of rocaglamide and mitomycin C is a highly effective tumor therapy. A low concentration of mitomycin C combined rocaglamide ROC significantly promoted HCT116 and HT29 cell apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation by downregulating the expression of Bcl-2 and c-FLIP, upregulating the expression of Bax, activating the caspase cascade, arresting cell cycle in G1 phase, and increasing the level of reactive oxygen species. Reference: Pathol Res Pract. 2023 Mar;243:154350. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36780842/
In vivo activity:
In post-heart transplant operated mice, rocaglamide was found to regulate oxidative stress response and reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and organ injury, which have been associated with the inhibition of NF-AT activation in T cells.
