anti-metastatic

Benzyl isothiocyanate (Benzoylthiocarbimide) (BITC) is an isothiocyanate originally found in cruciferous vegetables. It shows immunomodulatory, anti-parasitic, antibiotic, antioxidative, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-angiogenic, anti-metastatic, anticancer chemotherapeutic, and chemopreventive activities.

β-Ionone (β-lonone) is an end-ring analog of β-carotenoids which widely distributed in fruit and vegetables,with anti-proliferative, anti-metastatic

DMAPT (Dimethylamino Parthenolide) is an orally active NF-κB inhibitor and a Parthenolide (PTL) analogue with an LD50 value of 1.7 μM for primary acute myeloid leukemia cells. It has potential anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects.

Columbamine (Columbamin) shows strong activity with IC5 48.1 μM.Columbamine exerts anti-proliferative and anti-vasculogenic effects on metastatic human osteosarcoma U2OS cells with low toxicity.

ExcisaninA may be a potent inhibitor of AKT signaling pathway in tumor cells, it can inhibit invasion by suppressing MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression, it may be a potential anti-metastatic chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of breast cancer. Excisanin A shows comparable inhibitory effects on the LPS-induced production of NO and PGE2, and activation of NF-kappaB without affecting cell viability.Excisanin A induces apoptosis in colon cancer cell line SW620 as determined by Annexin V staining, the cleavage of caspase-3 and the proteolytic degradation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP).

Licoricidin, is a potent anti-metastatic agent, which can markedly inhibit the metastatic and invasive capacity of malignant prostate cancer cells.

1. Dehydrocorydaline (13-Methylpalmatine) exerts anti-metastatic potential via suppression of MMPs and Bcl-2 signaling in NSC-LC cells. 2. Dehydrocorydaline stimulates p38 MAPK activation, which can enhance heterodimerization of MyoD and E proteins, thus resulting in MyoD activation and myoblast differentiation. 3. Dehydrocorydaline shows antiplatelet effects, it inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation in a low dose ( IC50= 34.914 ug/mL). 4. Dehydrocorydaline has anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects. 5. Dehydrocorydaline inhibits MCF-7 cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis mediated by regulating Bax/Bcl-2, activating caspases as well as cleaving PARP.

Maclurin (NSC-83240) is a phenolic component of mulberry twigs, exerts anti-metastatic effects. Maclurin effectively protects against OH-induced damages to DNA and MSCs and can be used in studies about the prevention of many diseases or MSCs transplantation.

Meleagrin, a roquefortine C-derived alkaloid produced by Penicillium fungi, serves as both a class of FabI inhibitors and a lead c-Met inhibitory entity for controlling c-Met-dependent metastatic and invasive breast malignancies. It exhibits antimicrobial and anti-proliferative activities.

α-Carotene is isolated from yellow-orange and dark-green vegetables. α-Carotene is used as an anti-metastatic agent or as an adjuvant for anti-cancer drugs.

Bisacurone has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-metastatic activities, it may have a protective effect against ethanol-induced liver injury by suppressing hepatic oxidation and inflammation.

1. Coptisine (Coptisin) treatment increases cell viability based on its reversal effect on the enhanced activity of Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase . 2. Coptisine treats myocardial I/R likely through suppressing myocardial apoptosis and inflammation by inhibiting the Rho/ROCK pathway. 3. Coptisine is a potential anti-osteosarcoma drug candidate, via exerting a strong anti-osteosarcoma effect with very low toxicity . 4. Coptisine with a high dosage could inhibit cholesterol synthesis via suppressing the HMGCR expression and promoting the use and excretion of cholesterol via up-regulating LDLR and CYP7A1 expression. 5. Coptisine suppresses adhesion, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in vitro, the down-regulation of MMP-9 in combination with the increase of TIMP-1 possibly contributing to the anti-metastatic function for breast cancer.

Ganoderenic acid H is one compound of triterpenoids isolated from Ganoderma lucidum, triterpenoids exhibit a broad spectrum of anti-cancer properties, including anti-proliferative, anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic activities.
