Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
IC50: 62 nM (PKC), 250 nM (PKA)[2]
In Vitro
UCN-02 (0.25-0.37 μg/mL; 48-72 h) is produced by Streptomyces strain N-126[1].
UCN-02 inhibits purified protein kinase C (PKC) with an IC50 of 0.062 μM[2].
UCN-02 inhibits purified protein kinase A (PKA) with an IC50 of 0.25 μM[2].
UCN-02 (72 h) inhibits the growth of HeLa S3 cells[2].
UCN-02 (5-6 days) inhibits the growth of human breast carcinoma cell lines MDA-MB468 (IC50 = 100 nM), H85787 (IC50 = 20 nM), SK-BR-3 (IC50 = 200 nM), MDA-MB453 (IC50 = 350 nM), and MCF-7 (IC50 = 150 nM)[3].
UCN-02 (24 h-6 days) causes exposure-dependent growth inhibition in MDA-MB468 and MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells[3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Breast Cancer Modeling
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous cancer, and it has been distinguished into four subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2-positive and basal-like. Molecular mutations, epigenetic alterations, hormone exposure and immune microenvironment are related to the progression of breast cancer.
