Phytochemical Name : Geraniin

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-1873
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Geraniin
PMID 27097871
Literature evidence Geraniin could generate intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), activate p38 MAPK then induce the apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, such phenomena was abrogated by pretreatment with N-acetyl-l-cysteine.

Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein Bcl-2, PARP, Caspase 3
Gene or Protein evidence Geraniin induced phosphorylation of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, and the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and caspase-3 in MCF-7 cells.
Target pathways In general, these results support the conclusion that Geraniin-induced apoptosis is mediated via ROS-mediated stimulation of p38 MAPK signaling.
IC50 9.94 µM against MCF-7
Potency In the present study, we found that Geraniin showed potent anti-proliferative effects on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7
