Literature evidence Centaurea cyanus extracted 13-O-acetylsolstitialin A decrease Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and expression of cyclin D1/Cdk-4 to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines.

Plant parts Aerial parts
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein Bax, Bcl-2, Cyclin D1, CDK-4
Gene or Protein evidence in both cell lines, 13ASA decreased protein levels of cyclin D1 and Cdk-4 in a dose-dependent manner. Altogether, these results indicate 13ASA induces cell cycle arrest probably through downregulation of cyclin D1 and Cdk-4 protein levels.
Target pathways NA
IC50 71.27 ± 4.3 µM against MCF-7 67.08 ± 3.6 µM against MDA-MB-231
Potency NA
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, MDA-MB-231
Additional information  ROS overproduction after 13ASA treatment possibly is one of the triggers for apoptosis.
