BCTC (20-100 μM; 72 h) shows highly selective antitumor activity in DU145 cells[1].
BCTC (20-100 μM; 48 h) induces cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase by selectively regulating the expression levels of cell cycle regulatory protein subsets, and doesn’t induce apoptosis[1].
BCTC (10 μM and 100 μM; 48 h) inhibits cell migration and invasion[1].
BCTC effectively inhibits the TRPV1 function of rat spinal cord by inhibiting the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) (IC50=37.0 nM) and P-like substance immunoreactivity (SP-LI) (IC50=36.0 nM) induced by capsaicin (300 nM) [3].
