Phytochemical Name : Neobractatin

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-346
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Neobractatin
PMID 31320607
Literature evidence We found that Neobractatin (NBT), a natural compound isolated from Garcinia bracteata, could efficiently inhibit breast and lung cancer cells metastasis.
IUPAC name (12R,13S)-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-15,15-dimethyl-4-(2-methylbut-3-en-2-yl)-13-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-2,14-dioxapentacyclo[11.4.1.01,10.03,8.012,16]octadeca-3(8),4,6,10-tetraene-9,18-dione

Other cancers Breast cancer, Lung cancer
Target gene or protein MBNL2
Gene or Protein evidence Based on the RNA-sequencing result and transcriptome analysis, Muscleblind-like 2 (MBNL2) was found to be significantly upregulated in the cells treated with NBT.
Target pathways pAKT/EMT signaling pathway
IC50 2.82 ± 0.43 μM against MDA-MB-231 6.27 ± 1.03 μM against MCF-7
Potency This study suggest that NBT possesses significant antitumor activity in breast and lung cancer cells that is partly mediated through the MBNL2 expression and enhancement in metastasis via the pAKT/EMT signaling pathway.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231 xenografts mouse model, A549, HepG2, T98, MCF-7
Additional information  Subsequent in vivo study showed the same metastasis inhibition effect in NBT and MBNL2 in MDA-MB-231 xenografts mouse model.
