Hellebrigenin

SKU: orb1684551

Description

Hellebrigenin is a small molecule that inhibits MAPK pathways (ERK, p38, JNK) and XIAP, downregulating Akt and inducing apoptosis via caspase activation and DNA damage. It demonstrates anti-proliferative effects in research models of oral squamous cell carcinoma and liver cancer, both in vitro and in vivo.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Methods: Hellebrigenin (6 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, three times a week for 4 weeks) was used to treat oral cancer SCC-1 cell xenograft model mice to study its effects on tumor growth and mouse body weight. Methods: Hellebrigenin significantly inhibited tumor growth in the oral cancer SCC-1 cell xenograft model of mice without affecting mouse body weight.
• In Vitro:
  Methods: Oral cancer SCC-1/47 cells and liver cancer HepG2 cells were treated with Hellebrigenin (2-8 nM, 24-72 h), and cell viability was detected by MTT assay. Results: Hellebrigenin inhibited the cell viability of oral cancer SCC-1/47 cells and liver cancer HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Methods: Oral cancer SCC-1/47 cells were treated with Hellebrigenin (2-8 nM, 24 h), and the expression of related apoptosis proteins was detected by WB. Results: Hellebrigenin induced apoptosis in oral cancer SCC-1/47 cells and activated Caspase-3/8/9 and PARP cleavage, accompanied by upregulation of Bax/Bak and downregulation of Bcl-2/Bcl-xL, Cyclin A2/B1, and CDK4/6.
