Antitumor agent-122 is a potent multi-target antitumor agent that exerts its effects through the induction of ferroptosis, autophagy, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest. In the ferroptosis pathway, Antitumor agent-122 inhibits GPX4 expression and upregulates FACL4 expression, increasing intracellular lipid peroxidation and ferrous ion levels. In the autophagy pathway, Antitumor agent-122 induces autophagy by inhibiting the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In the apoptosis and cell cycle pathways, Antitumor agent-122 arrests cells at the G1/S phase and subsequently promots mitochondrial pathway-mediated apoptosis. Antitumor agent-122 can be used in the research of solid tumors including gastric, liver, ovarian, and bladder cancers.

Antitumor agent-122 inhibits the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cells[1].
Antitumor agent-122 (5 μM; 24 h) induces ferroptosis in T24 cells by downregulating GPX4 expression, upregulating ACSL4 expression, and promoting the accumulation of lipid peroxides, ferrous ions, superoxide anions, and ROS[1].
Antitumor agent-122 (5 μM; 24 h and 48 h) induces ferroptosis-like mitochondrial morphological changes and autophagosome formation in T24 cells[1].
Antitumor agent-122 (2, 5, 8 μM; 24 h) induces autophagy in T24 cells by upregulating LC3B, downregulating P62, inhibiting AKT/mTOR-related signaling, and activating ERK signaling[1].
Antitumor agent-122 (1–5 μM; 7 days) reduces colony formation in T24 cells[1].
Antitumor agent-122 (1–10 μM; 0, 24, 48 h) inhibits T24 cell migration, and its anti-migratory effect is attenuated by the ERK inhibitor FR180204 (HY-12275)[1].
Antitumor agent-122 (2, 5, 8 μM; 24 h) promotes mitochondrial pathway-mediated apoptosis in T24 cells by upregulating the expression of cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-PARP, Bax, Bak, and Bad[1].
Antitumor agent-122 (2, 5, and 8 μM; 24 h) upregulates p21 and downregulates MCM5 in T24 cells, inducing G1/S phase cell cycle arrest[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
