MS-444
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
MS-444 (BE-34776) is a HuR (ELAVL1) inhibitor that blocks the cytoplasmic translocation of HuR and inhibits its dimerization. MS-444 reduces cytoplasmic HuR levels by preventing the binding of HuR to ARE-mRNA, without altering the total expression of HuR. MS-444 induces apoptosis, inhibits cell growth, angiogenesis and invasion, and also regulates immune function and microbiota. MS-444 effectively alters the number, size and invasiveness of tumors in various cancer models. MS-444 is tolerable to intraperitoneal injection in vivo and can be applied to research related to colorectal cancer, familial adenomatous polyposis, colitis-associated cancer and glioblastoma.

MS-444 (1.5-25 μM; 8 h) inhibits COX-2 mRNA expression in HCA-7 CRC cells with an IC50 of 6.75 μM and reduces COX-2 protein levels in a dose-dependent manner after 8 h of treatment[1].
