Target gene or protein DR4, DR5, p53, CHOP, Bax, Caspase 3, Caspase 8, Caspase 9, Bcl-2
Gene or Protein evidence Compounds 1 and 5 enhanced the levels of apoptosis inducing proteins DR4, DR5, p53, CHOP, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-8, and cleaved caspase-9 and also decreased the levels of cell survival protein Bcl-2 in TRAIL-resistant AGS cells in a dose-dependent manner. Compound 1 also enhanced the levels of DR4 and DR5 proteins in a time-dependent manner.
Target pathways NA
IC50 4.8±0.56 μg/mL against MDA-MB-231
Potency Compound 1 also exhibit TRAIL-resistance overcoming activity in DLD1, DU145, HeLa, and MCF7 cells but did not decrease viability in non-cancer HEK293 cells up to 8 μM.
Cell line/ mice model DLD1, DU145, HeLa, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231
