Auriculasin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Auriculasin is an anticancer agent that inhibits VEGFR2, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, MAPK. Auriculasin can inhibit cell proliferation, induce cell apoptosis, and inhibit angiogenesis, and promotes mitochondrial oxidative stress and ferroptosis. Auriculasin is also active at the cannabinoid receptor CB1 with an IC50 of 8.92 μM. Auriculasin can be used in cancer research, especially related diseases such as prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, as well as research on the development of anti-angiogenic drugs.

VEGFR2 |
Auriculasin (2.5-10 μM; 6-24 h) inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1].
Auriculasin (5-10 μM; 12 h) inhibits VEGF-induced migration and invasion of HUVECs[1].
Auriculasin (5-10 μM; 6 h) inhibits the formation of capillary-like structures in HUVECs[1].
Auriculasin (5-10 μM; 6 days) inhibits microvascular sprouting in rat aortic rings[1].
Auriculasin (5-10 μM; 24 h or 30 min-1 h) downregulates the expression of Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and VEGF in HUVECs, and inhibits the phosphorylation of VEGFR2 and its downstream Akt, mTOR, etc.[1].
Auriculasin (2.5-10 μM; 24 h) inhibits the viability of RC-58T/h/SA#4 primary prostate cancer cells, and the effect is more significant when combined with TRAIL, and has low toxicity to RWPE-1 prostate epithelial cells[2].
Auriculasin (5 μM) combined with TRAIL (100 ng/mL; 24 h) induces apoptosis of RC-58T/h/SA#4 cells[2].
Auriculasin (1-10 μM; 24 h) reduces the viability of LNCa P prostate cancer cells and has no effect on RWPE-1 cells[3].
Auriculasin (1-5 μM; 24 h) induces apoptosis of LNCaP cells, which is manifested by an increase in the sub-G1 population and DNA fragmentation[3].
Auriculasin (2.5-5 μM; 12-24 h) increases ROS generation in LNCaP cells[3].
Auriculasin reduces NSCLC A549 cell viability and promotes mitochondrial oxidative stress and ferroptosis[4].

Animal Model:5-week-old male C57BL/6 mice, Matrigel plug model[1]
-
Dosage:5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL (in Matrigel with 20 units of heparin and 150 ng/mL VEGF)
-
Administration:Subcutaneous injection, single dose, 7 days
-
Result:Co-treated with Matrigel plugs and VEGF, showed marked reduction of red blood cells, lighter color, significantly reduced hemoglobin concentrations, dramatically blocked VEGF-induced vasculature formation, and reduced area of VEGF-staining cells compared to the VEGF alone group.
