Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein Atg5, Beclin-1, LC 3-II, Sequestosome1, Bax, Bcl-2
Gene or Protein evidence The results of real-time reverse transcription-PCR exhibited that BBI altered the expression of Atg5, Beclin1, light chain 3-II, and sequestosome1 and increased the Bax/Bcl2 ratio in MDA-MB-231 cell line.
Target pathways NA
IC50 200 μg/mL against MDA-MB-231
Potency MTT results revealed that BBI inhibited the cell growth of MDA-MB-231 cell line in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 200 μg/mL.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231
Additional information  According to our results, BBI could inhibit autophagy and induce apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cell line. Thus, BBI may be used as a therapeutic drug in the treatment of breast cancer whether alone or with chemotherapeutic drugs
