Phytochemical Name : Cladosporol A

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-1905
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Cladosporol A
PMID 28728544
Literature evidence Furthermore, immunofluorescence studies were carried to see the involvement of intrinsic pathway leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, cytochrome c release, Bax/Bcl-2 regulation and flowcytometrically measured membrane potential loss of mitochondria in human breast (MCF-7) cancer cells after Cladosporol A treatment.
IUPAC name (1aR,7R,7aR)-6,7-dihydroxy-3-(5-hydroxy-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1aH,2H,7H,7aH-naphtho[2,3-b]oxiren-2-one

Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein p21
Gene or Protein evidence Cladosporol A also inhibited the assembiling of microtubules and induction of p21 a proapoptotic protein. Furthermore, Cladosporol A treatment also induced mild autophagic flux in human breast (MCF7) cell line.
Target pathways Cladosporol A induced apoptosis through ROS mediated mitochondrial pathway and increased p21 protein expression in MCF-7 cells in vitro.
IC50 8.7 μM against MCF-7
Potency NA
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7
Additional information  Cladosporol A in human breast (MCF-7) cancer cell line. Cladosporol A treatment induces membrane potential loss of mitochondria, cytochrome c release, Bax upregulation and Bcl-2 down regulation, thereby inducing mitochondrial activation mediated apoptosis.
