Phytochemical Name : Rottlerin

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-301
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Rottlerin
PMID 24359639
Literature evidence Although, autophagy inhibitors suppress the formation of cytoplasmic vacuolization and autophagy in breast CSCs, the potency of Rott to induce autophagy and apoptosis might be based on its capability to activate several pathways such as AMPK and proteasome inhibition.

Other cancers Breast cancer, Prostate cancer
Target gene or protein Atg12, Beclin-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, XIAP, cIAP-1, LRP6
Gene or Protein evidence The levels of Atg12 and Beclin-1 expression were increased in a dose dependent manner following treatment with Rott. The cellular levels of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, XIAP and cIAP-1 proteins were significantly decreased after the treatments with Rott for 48 h. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of rottlerin on LRP6 expression/phosphorylation and Wnt/β-catenin signaling were confirmed in human prostate cancer PC-3 and DU145 cells and breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and T-47D cells.
Target pathways Akt/mTOR pathway AMPK pathway
IC50 NA
Potency Molecular docking results between C2-domain of protein kinase C-delta and Rott indicated that both hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions contributed significantly for ligand binding with minimum binding affinity of ≈ 7.5 Kcal/mol.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231, T47D, PC-3, DU145, MCF-7
