Plant parts Bulb
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-w, Bcl-xL
Gene or Protein evidence Further studies revealed that DADS modulates the cellular levels of Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bcl-w in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting the involvement of Bcl-2 family proteins in DADS induced apoptosis.
Target pathways NA
IC50 NA
Potency The data thus indicate that the HDACi properties of DADS may be responsible for the induction of apoptosis in breast cancer cells.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7
Additional information  Here it is shown that DADS has HDACi properties in MCF-7 cells as it lowers the removal of an acetyl group from an acetylated substrate and induces histone-4 (H4) hyper-acetylation.
