Bioactivity | Amsilarotene (TAC-101; Am 555S), an orally active synthetic retinoid, has selective affinity for retinoic acid receptor α (RAR-α) binding with Ki of 2.4, 400 nM for RAR-α and RAR-β. Amsilarotene induces the apoptotic of human gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma cells. Amsilarotene can be used for the research of cancer[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Amsilarotene (0, 10, 25 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptosis of human epithelial ovarian carcinoma-derived cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner[2].Amsilarotene (10, 20 μM; 0, 3, 6, and 9 days) inhibits the proliferation of BxPC-3 and MIAPaCa-2 cells[3].Amsilarotene (10 μM; 48 hours) increases the proportion of sensitive BxPC-3 cells in the G1 phase[3].Amsilarotene (10 μM; 0, 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours) inhibits the retinoblastoma-gene product (RB) phosphorylation in BxPC-3 cells between 24 and 72 hours[3].
