Cucurbitacin C
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Cucurbitacin C is a tetracyclic triterpenoid compound. Cucurbitacin C exhibits significant in vivo and in vitro anticancer activity, which inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells, and significantly suppresses the growth of HepG2 and PC-3 xenograft tumors in mice. Cucurbitacin C can be used in studies on plant defense mechanisms, secondary metabolism and cancer therapy.

Cucurbitacin C (CuC) (0.01-10 μM; 24-48 h) potently inhibits the proliferation of HCT-116 colon cancer cells, with an IC50 value of 0.21 μM at 24 h and 0.04 μM at 48 h[4].

Cucurbitacin C (24 h) downregulates the mRNA expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13 and PGF in HCT-116 cells, exerts no significant effect on CDK2 expression, and upregulates MET expression[4].
Cucurbitacin C (10-100 nM; 14 days) significantly reduces the clonogenic capacity of LNCaP, DU145, PC-3, T24 and HepG2 cells[1].
Cucurbitacin C (20 nM; 12-24 h) significantly inhibits the migration of DU145, PC-3, HepG2 and T24 cells[1].

Cucurbitacin C exhibits favorable binding affinity to human MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, PGF, MET and CDK2 proteins[4].
Cucurbitacin C (49.5-314.4 μg/g fresh weight; at approximately 10 days) shows an extremely strong negative correlation with the survival rate of Tetranychus urticae in bitter haploid cucumber lines[5].

Cucurbitacin C (10-1000 nM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent early apoptosis in T24, HepG2 and PC-3 cells[1].
Cucurbitacin C (0.01-1 μM; 48 h) activates apoptosis-related proteins in LNCaP, PC-3, T24 and HepG2 cells through distinct pathways, including activation of caspase-8 and PARP in PC-3 and T24 cells, promotion of cleaved caspase-3 accumulation in LNCaP cells, and upregulation of cleaved caspase-9 levels in HepG2 cells[1].
Cucurbitacin C (10-1000 nM; 48 h) induces G1 phase arrest in DU145 and LNCaP cells, triggers G2/M phase arrest in T24, HepG2 and PC-3 cells, and increases the proportion of apoptotic cells in the sub-G1 phase[1].
Cucurbitacin C (100 nM; 24 h) regulates cell cycle regulatory proteins in LNCaP, PC-3, T24 and HepG2 cells, reduces the levels of cyclin A and cyclin D1, and induces p53-independent upregulation of p21[1].
Cucurbitacin C (24 h) alters the gene expression of PC-3 and HepG2 cells, exerts significant regulatory effects on the PI3K-Akt pathway, and upregulates cell cycle inhibitors and downstream target genes of Akt[1].
