Bioactivity | 2-(Cyclohexylmethyl)-plumbagin is a derivative of the naphthoquinone compound Plumbagin (HY-N1497). Under nutrient-deprived conditions, 2-(Cyclohexylmethyl)-plumbagin selectively exhibits cytotoxicity against PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells (PC50 = 0.11 µM) and reduces the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR in PANC-1 cells. 2-(Cyclohexylmethyl)-plumbagin also induces apoptosis (Apoptosis) in PANC-1 cells at a concentration of 1 µM. Additionally, 2-(Cyclohexylmethyl)-plumbagin reduces tumor volume and weight in a xenograft MiaPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer mouse model[1]. |
