Apcin
Based on 9 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Apcin, a ligand of Cdc20, is a potent and competitive anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C(Cdc20)) E3 ligase activity inhibitor. Apcin competitively inhibits APC/C-dependent ubiquitylation by binding to Cdc20 and preventing substrate recognition. Apcin occupes the D-box-binding pocket on the side face of the WD40-domain and can prolong mitosis.

Apcin (25-50 μM; 48 hours) significantly increases MM apoptosis combining with proTAME (6, 12 μM)[3].
Apcin (25 μM; 2-14 hours) induces slippage more slowly[2].
Apcin (50-200 μM) stabilizes cycB1-NT and securin most effectively, with somewhat weaker effects against full-length cyclin B1[1].
Apcin (1.5-200 μM; 18 hours) synergizes with proTAME (a cell-permeable TAME prodrug) to prolong mitotic duration in RPE1 cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

The schematic graph of experimental design and the picture of xenografts after the sacrifice of mice. Mice bearing TRAMP-C2 tumors implanted 7 days earlier were treated with or without the Cdc20 inhibitor, Apcin (15 mg/kg/d; i.p.; 4 days per cycle for 4 weeks), or the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibodies (5 mice per group). The results showed that the combination of Apcin with α-PD-1 showed prominent therapeutic superiority to α-PD-1 alone (P < 0.01) and to Apcin alone (P < 0.01).

The IC50 assay was used to detect the inhibitory efficacy of Apcin (48 h) in EIF4A3 overexpressing cell lines. Data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 3). The results showed that overexpression of EIF4A3 downregulated the Apcin IC50 in Ishikawa cells (90.48 μM vs 140.2 μM) and HEC-1-A cells (142.5 μM vs 196.9 μM).
