Lumiflavin
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Lumiflavin (Lumiflavine), a riboflavine analog, causes significant inhibition of riboflavine uptake. Lumiflavin can effectively reduce the riboflavin enrichment in cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) and sensitize the effect of cisplatin Diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) on CSCs. Lumiflavin is promising for research of ovarian cancer.

Biological Activity
Lumiflavin (10-40 μM, 48 h) has synergistic effects with Diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) (20 μM, 48 h) on CSCs in increasing mitochondrial function damage and apoptosis rates and decreasing clonic function[2].
Lumiflavin (0-80 μM, 72 h) reduces the formation of drug resistance and proportion of CSCs, increases CSCs/DDP apoptosis rate and reduces cell clone formation ability in ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR-3[3].
Lumiflavin (80 μM, 72 h) downregulates the protein expression of Notch signaling pathway in CSCs/DDP[3].

Result:Increased Notch-1, Notch-2, Notch-3, and Notch ligands, just as Jag1, 2 and Dll 1, 3, 4, whereas the expressions of Notch-1, Notch-2, Notch-3 and Jag1, 2 and Dll 3 were downregulated.
Lumiflavin (4-16 mg/kg, s.c., once a day for 25 days) combined with DDP reduces tumor weight and inhibits tumor growth[3].
