CAY10526 is a specific microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES1) inhibitor. CAY10526 inhibits PGE2 production through the selective modulation of mPGES1 expression but does not affect COX-2. CAY10526 significantly suppresses tumor growth and increases apoptosis in melanoma xenografts. CAY10526 reduces BCL-2 and BCL-XL (anti-apoptotic) protein levels and increases BAX and BAK (pro-apoptotic) as well as cleaved caspase 3 levels. CAY10526 inhibits cell viability (IC50<5 μM) in three melanoma cell lines expressing mPGES1[1].
