Bioactivity | Bromosporine is a potent BET inhibitor with an IC50 value of 2.1 μM for PCAF. Bromosporine can arrest cell cycle and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Bromosporine exhibits excellent antitumor activity in xenograft mice model when combined with 5-FU (HY-90006). Bromosporine can increase CDK9 T-loop phosphorylation in HIV-1 latency models, resulting the protection of reactivate HIV-1 replication from latency. Bromosporine can be used to research colorectal cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and AIDS[1][2][3][4]. | ||||||||||||

Invitro | Bromosporine (0-1000 nM; 72 h) synergistically inhibits cell growth in CRC cells with 5-FU (HY-90006)[1].Bromosporine (various concentration; 48 h) causes a distinct increase in the cells arrested at G1 phase when combined with 5-FU[1].Bromosporine (various concentration; 48 h) decreases the expressions of PARP, caspase 3, and 9[1].Bromosporine (0.1, 0.5 and 1 μM; 6-10 days) inhibits AML cells in a dose-dependent manner[3].Bromosporine (2.5 μM; 72 h) activates HIV-1 replication in vitro in latent HIV-1 J-Lat clone C11 cells[4].Bromosporine (1-50 μM; 48 h) does not induce marked toxicity in primary CD4+ T cells[4].
