Phytochemical Name : Eriocalyxin B

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-384
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Eriocalyxin B
PMID 28669564
Literature evidence We found that EriB was able to induce apoptosis accompanied by the activation of autophagy, which was evidenced by the increased accumulation of autophagosomes, acidic vesicular organelles formation, the microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3B-II (LC3B-II) conversion from LC3B-I and p62 degradation.

Plant parts NA
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein NF-κBp65, STAT-3 , Bax, Bcl-2, MMP, Caspase 3
Gene or Protein evidence EriB induced apoptosis in MDA-MB231 cells via inhibiting NF-ϰBp65, STAT3 phosphorylation, increasing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, MMP dissipation, and activation of caspase-3.
Target pathways Akt/mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway
IC50 NA
Potency Taken together, our findings firstly demonstrated that EriB suppressed breast cancer cells growth both in vitro and in vivo, and thus could be developed as a promising anti-breast tumor agent.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 / MDA-MB-231 xenograft model
Additional information  nterestingly, the autophagic features and apoptosis induction were prevented by reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine, indicating that ROS played an essential role in the mediation of EriB-induced cell death.
