 Use of Butein


Butein, a plant polyphenol isolated from Rhus verniciflua, inhibit the activation of protein tyrosine kinase and EGFR. target: EGFR [1]In vitro: 1) Butein inhibited the activation of AKT, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERKs) and p38 kinases in the presence of cisplatin.[2] 2) FoxO3a and its downstream molecules play a role in the synergistic effects of butein and cisplatin.[2]3) Butein suppresses cell proliferation and enhances apoptosis in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cells.[3]4) Butein activates FOXO3a/p27kip1 pathway in ALL cell lines.[4]5) Butein inhibited not only the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated auto-phosphotyrosine level of EGF receptor in HepG2 cells but also tyrosine-specific protein kinase activities of EGF receptor (IC50= 65 μM) and p60c-src(IC50= 65 μM)In vivo: 1) Butein in combination with cisplatin suppresses tumor growth and increases FoxO3a expression.[1]
