Plant parts Tuber
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein Cyclin D1, MMP2, MMP9
Gene or Protein evidence The expression level of cell cycle regulatory proteins cyclin D1 was significantly down regulated. Furthermore, alisol A significantly suppressed the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells by inhibiting the expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
Target pathways NF-κB and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway
IC50 NA
Potency Taken together, our results demonstrated that alisol A could inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells. It could be a promising agent for breast cancer therapy.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231
Additional information  Interestingly, autophagy inhibitor 3-MA significantly reversed the cytotoxic effects induced by alisol A. Meanwhile, alisol A-induced autophagy was significantly inhibited by 3-MA in MDA-MB-231 cells. Cell cycle analysis revealed that alisol A arrested the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase.
