Phytochemical Name : Aglaiabbreviatin F (AA-6)

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-582
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Aglaiabbreviatin F (AA-6)
PMID 29050217
Literature evidence After 48 h treatment, AA-5 (1) and AA-6 (2) significantly increased mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with depressed mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase-9 activities.

Target gene or protein Caspase 9, P-gp
Gene or Protein evidence After 48 h treatment, AA-5 (1) and AA-6 (2) significantly increased mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with depressed mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase-9 activities. Moreover, computational modeling studies showed that AA-6 (2) might bind to the modulator site on P-gp and act as an inhibitor, not a substrate of P-gp.
Target pathways Akt pathway
IC50 12.46 µM against MCF-7 6.1 µM against MCF-7/ADM
Potency Therefore, AA-5 (1) and AA-6 (2) may be effective anti-tumor and reversal agents for the further development of therapeutics against MDR breast cancer.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, MCF-7/ADM
Additional information  Importantly, AA-6 (2) were more effective than that of adriamycin (IC50 = 57.3 µM) and vincristine (IC50 = 7.5 µM) in MCF-7/ADM cells.
