In vitro study | Xanthatinis against T. b. brucei with anIC 50 value of 2.63 µg/mL and exhibits weak irreversible inhibition of parasite specific trypanothione reductase.Xanthatin (0-40 μM; 24 hours) has obscure inhibition effect on the proliferation of HUVEC in the absence of VEGF.Xanthatin (5-40 μM; 24 hours) inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation in a dose responsive manner. Xanthatin inhibits HCC1937, MDA-MB-415, SK-BR-3, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 with IC 50 values of 81 μM, 31 μM, 38 μM, 30 μM, and 17 μM, respectively.Xanthatin (0-10 μM; 24 hours) dose dependently suppresses the phosphorylation of STAT3 (Ser727), at the same time, it also results in a rapid dephosphorylation of down-stream kinases of STAT3, including PI3K and Akt, including PI3K (p-PI3K p85 tyr458 ) and Akt. Cell Proliferation Assay Cell Line: HUVEC cells Concentration: 0 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 15 μM, 20 μM, 30 μM, 40 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Inhibited cell growth from dose 10 μM in the presence of vEGF. Cell Viability Assay Cell Line: HCC1937, MDA-MB-415, SK-BR-3, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells Concentration: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Inhibited breast cancer cell growth. Western Blot Analysis Cell Line: HUVEC cells Concentration: 0, 3, and 10 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Inhibited VEGFR2 downstream signaling pathways and blocked VEGF-induced STAT3 activation in HUVEC. |
