Purity ~95% (HPLC). A cell-permeable tripyrrole alkaloid compound that displays immunosuppressive and anti-tumor properties irrespective of p53 status and multidrug resistance. Shown to selectively upregulate p21WAF/CIP1 and NAG-1 (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene 1) and downregulate survivin expression levels, induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in tumor cells. Prevents FADD phosphorylation (IC50=2.0uM in A549-FKR cells) through inhibition of FADD-kinase CK1a (IC50 ~6.0uM in SW620-BGCR cells) and augments cisplatin -induced apoptosis. Blocks NF-kB activation by decreasing plkBa (by 63% at 3uM) and lkBa levels in A549 cells, and shrinks tumor growth in A549-FKR tumor xenograft mouse model (3mg/kg, i.p., o.d.).
