Bioactivity | CR-1-31-B is a synthetic rocaglate and a potent eIF4A inhibitor. CR-1-31-B exhibits powerful inhibitory effects over eIF4A by perturbing the interaction between eIF4A and RNA, sequentially impeding initiation during protein synthesis. CR-1-31-B perturbs association of Plasmodium falciparum eIF4A (PfeIF4A) with RNA. CR-1-31-B induces apoptosis of neuroblastoma and gallbladder cancer cells[1][2][3][4]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | CR-1-31-B (100 nM; 24 hours) inhibits MUC1-C translation in MCF-10A cells (EGF-stimulated)[1].CR-1-31-B (10 and 100 nM) decreases MUC1-C abundance in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells[1].CR-1-31B sensitizes gallbladder cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis through the translational downregulation of c-FLIP[2].Neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines exhibit decreased viability, increased apoptosis rates as well as changes in cell cycle distribution when treated with the synthetic rocaglate CR-1-31-B (24-72 hours), which clamps eIF4A and eIF4F onto mRNA, resulting in a translational block[4].CR-1-31-B (100 nM; 5 hours) treatment increases reverse glutamine metabolism in pancreatic cancer cells[5].
