Cucurbitacin B belongs to a class of highly oxidized tetracyclic triterpenoids; could repress cancer cell progression.IC50 value:Target: anticancer natural compoundin vitro: Cucurbitacin-B inhibited growth and modulated expression of cell-cycle regulators in SHSY5Y cells. At the molecular level, we found that Cucurbitacin-B inhibited AKT signaling activation through up-regulation of PTEN [1]. CuB induced apoptosis of A549 cells in a -concentration-dependent manner, as determined by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy. CuB dose-dependently inhibited lung cancer cell proliferation, with cell cycle inhibition and cyclin B1 downregulation. Apoptosis induced by CuB was shown to be associated with cytochrome c release, B-cell lymphoma 2 downregulation and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 pathway inhibition [2]. CuB inhibited ITGA6 and ITGB4 (integrin α6 and integrin β4), which are overexpressed in breast cancer. Furthermore, CuB also induced the expression of major ITGB1and ITGB3, which are known to cause integrin-mediated cell death [3]. Cuc B treatment caused DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) without affecting the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), the potential molecular target for Cuc B. Cuc B triggers ATM-activated Chk1-Cdc25C-Cdk1, which could be reversed by both ATM siRNA and Chk1 siRNA. Cuc B also triggers ATM-activated p53-14-3-3-σ pathways, which could be reversed by ATM siRNA [4].in vivo: Efficacy of CuB was tested in vivo using two different orthotopic models of breast cancer. MDA-MB-231 and 4T-1 cells were injected orthotopically in the mammary fat pad of female athymic nude mice or BALB/c mice respectively. Our results showed that CuB administration inhibited MDA-MB-231 orthotopic tumors by 55%, and 4T-1 tumors by 40%. The 4T-1 cells represent stage IV breast cancer and form very aggressive tumors [3].

ELR510444 is a novel microtubule disruptor; inhibits MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation with IC50 of 30.9 nM; not a substrate for the P-glycoprotein drug transporter and retains activity in βIII-tubulin-overexpressing cell lines.IC50 value: 30.9 nM(MDA-MB-231 cell) [1]Target: Microtubule disruptorELR510444 is not a substrate for the P-glycoprotein drug transporter and retains activity in βIII-tubulin-overexpressing cell lines, suggesting that it circumvents both clinically relevant mechanisms of drug resistance to this class of agents. ELR510444 also shows potent antitumor activity in the MDA-MB-231 xenograft model with at least a 2-fold therapeutic window. Studies in tumor endothelial cells show that a low concentration of ELR510444 (30 nM) rapidly alters endothelial cell shape, similar to the effect of the vascular disrupting agent combretastatin A4. ELR510444 is a novel microtubule-disrupting agent with potential antivascular effects and in vivo antitumor efficacy [1]. ELR510444 decreased HIF-1α and HIF-2α levels, reduced RCC cell viability and clonogenic survival, and induced apoptosis. VHL-deficient RCC cells were more sensitive to ELR510444-mediated apoptosis and restoration of VHL promoted drug resistance. Higher concentrations of ELR51044 promoted apoptosis independently of VHL status, possibly due to the microtubule destabilizing properties of this agent. ELR510444 significantly reduced tumor burden in the 786-O and A498 RCC xenograft models [2].

NPI-2358 induces cell death in MM cells with IC50 of 8-10 nM, which due to trigger early mitotic arrest in MM cells. NPI-2358 also inhibits tubule formation and migration of endothelial as well as MM cells, which leads to disrupt tumor vasculature. NPI-2358 could induces cell death in patient MM (CD138+) cells without effecting viability of normal mononuclear cells. Blockade of JNK abrogates NPI-2358-induced mitotic arrest or MM cell death. in vivo: NPI-2358 (7.5 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth in human plasmacytoma mouse xenograft models at well-tolerated doses. NPI-2358 induces a time- and dose-dependent decrease in tumour perfusion. NPI-2358 is more sensitive to the KHT sarcoma than the C3H tumour, while radiation response could enhance the antitumor activity in both models.
