Description
  • Antibiotic. Cytotoxic.
  • Antitumor compound. Anti-melanoma drug lead compound. Effective in BRAF V600E mutation cell lines.
  • Potently induces apoptosis in melanoma cells. Localizes to mitochondria, affects energy metabolism in mitochondria rapidly and activates caspase-3/7-dependent apoptotic pathways.
  • Inhibits cell growth in a borad range of human cancer cell lines. Shows cell type specificity inducing strong cytostasis most effective in cancer types with low oxygen respiration ratios like melanomas.
