Bioactivity | Cefatrizine (BL-S-640) is an orally active and broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefatrizine is also a eEF2K inhibitor, with anti-proliferative activity in human breast cancer cells, which could induce ER stress, leading to cell death. Cefatrizine can be used in studies of cancer and bacterial infection[1][2]. |
Invitro | Cefatrizine (0-100 µM; 24 h) causes a remarkable anti-proliferative effect on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-436 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner[1].Cefatrizine (30 µM; 12 h) induces ER stress in breast cancer cells[1].Cefatrizine (12, 24, 36 h) increases level of CHOP (marker of ER stress induced apoptosis) and promotes expressions of core proteins in eEF2K-modulated ER stress pathways (Bip, p-PERK, XBP-1S and p-JNK) in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-436 cells[1].
