In Vitro

Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (1.36 μM; 48 h) potently and selectively inhibits the viability of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells with an IC50 of 1.36 μM, while showing weaker cytotoxicity against normal 3T3-L1 cells[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.5-2.0 μM; 48 h treatment, followed by 10 days of culture without compound) dose-dependently inhibits the long-term colony-forming ability of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, with near-complete suppression at 2.0 μM[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.125-2.0 μM; 24 h, 48 h) inhibits the proliferation of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, with significant effects observed at 0.25-2.0 μM over 48 h[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.125-0.5 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits the migration and invasive potential of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, with significant effects at 0.5 μM over 24 h[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.5-2.0 μM; 48 h) dose-dependently induces G0/G1 phase arrest in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, inhibiting cell proliferation by blocking completion of the replication cycle[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.5-2.0 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently increases intracellular ROS levels in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, with significant elevation at 0.5 μM over 24 h[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.5-2.0 μM; 48 h) dose-dependently induces apoptosis in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, as evidenced by classical apoptotic morphological changes after 48 h of incubation[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.5-2.0 μM; 24 h) activates the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells by altering Bcl-2/Bax balance, promoting cytochrome c release, and activating the caspase cascade after 24 h of incubation[1].
Ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer-5 (0.5-2.0 μM; 24 h) induces ferroptosis in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells by downregulating GPX4 and upregulating ACSL4 after 24 h of incubation[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
