Target gene or protein HER2/EGFR/integrinβ3, topo II
Gene or Protein evidence Erythro-austrobailignan-6 down-regulates HER2/EGFR/integrinβ3 expression via p38 activation in breast cancer. At a concentration of 100 mM, 4 showed the strongest inhibitory activity on both DNA topoisomerases I and II and, as second and third effective inhibitors, 2 and 8 have selective inhibitory activity against DNA topoisomerase I activity compared to DNA topoisomerase II. Compound 2 is Erythro-austrobailignan-6
Target pathways NA
IC50 39.9 µM against MCF-7
Potency Three of them, erythro-austrobailignan-6, meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid and nectandrin-B, exert an antiproliferative effect on MCF-7 cells as well as antioxidant activity on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, but not the threo-austrobailignan-5.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, 4T1
