Geographical availability China Southeast
Plant parts NA
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, MMP2, MMP9
Gene or Protein evidence 2-hydroxy-6-tridecylbenzoic acid inhibited cells migration and invasion as well as EMT with the increase of E-cadherin expression accompanied by the decrease of N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression.
Target pathways AMPK signaling pathway
IC50 NA
Potency NA
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231, 4 T1
Additional information  The inhibition was further demonstrated by the enhancement of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1 expression through the activation of AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) in MDA-MB-231 and 4 T-1 cells. Silencing of CYP1B1 and AMPK with siRNA blocked the inhibitory effects of migration and invasion, and reversed the EMT related genes.
