Bioactivity | Anticancer agent 255 is a monocarbonylated curcumin-1,2,3-oxazole conjugate with significant anticancer activity. The IC50 values of Anticancer agent 255 in prostate cancer cells PC-3 and DU-145 are 8.8μM and 9.5μM respectively. The IC50 values of Anticancer agent 255 against breast cancer cells MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 are 6μM, 10μM and 6.4μM, showing good anti-cancer activity Effect. Anticancer agent 255 can induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells and prevent cell cycle progression. Anticancer agent 255 down-regulated the cell proliferation marker PCNA and inhibited the activation of cell survival proteins. Anticancer agent 255 up-regulated the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and down-regulated the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2[1]. |
