Literature evidence In addition, TMS activated the AHR more potently (EC50 in a reporter gene assay 2.0 μM) and induced AHR-mediated induction of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) activity (EC50 value of 0.7 μM) more than resveratrol and the other analogues tested.

Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein CYP1A1 , CYP1B1, Nqo1 , IL-8
Gene or Protein evidence Gene expression analysis showed that 3 μM TMS increased gene expression of CYP1A1 (289-fold), CYP1B1 (5-fold) and Nqo1 (2-fold), and decreased gene expression of IL-8 (3-fold) in MCF-7 cells.
Target pathways NA
IC50 TMS exhibited stronger CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 inhibitory properties with previously reported IC50 values of 300 nM and 6 nM respectively.
Potency In addition, TMS activated the AHR more potently (EC50 in a reporter gene assay 2.0 μM) and induced AHR-mediated induction of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) activity (EC50 value of 0.7 μM) more than resveratrol and the other analogues tested.
