Clausenidin
Clausenidin is a selective inhibitor targeting apoptosis-related pathways, including the mitochondrial pathway and death receptor pathway, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Clausenidin induces mitochondrial membrane depolarization by activating caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9, upregulating the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and downregulating the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Clausenidin also inhibits VEGF expression and blocks angiogenesis, exerting anti-tumor activity. Clausenidin has inhibitory effects against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC=200 μg/mL). Clausenidin can induce apoptosis in liver cancer cells, arrest the cell cycle in the G2/M phase, and inhibit tumor angiogenesis. Clausenidin can be used in the research of malignant tumors such as liver cancer.
