Galiellalactone
Galiellalactone is a is a small non-toxic and non-mutagenic fungal metabolite, a selective inhibitor of STAT3 signaling, with an IC50 of 250-500 nM. Galiellalactone can be used to research castration-resistant prostate cancer.

In Vitro
Galiellalactone (2.5-25 μM; 24-72 hour) induces apoptosis of prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines expressingp-Stat3[1].
Galiellalactone (2.5-25 μM; 24-72 hour) decreases viability of DU145 cells[1].
Galiellalactone (10 μM) inhibits STAT3 signaling activity as assessed by luciferase reporter gene assay in IL-6-stimulated LNCaP cells[2].
Galiellalactone (10-100 μM; 1 hour) binds directly to STAT3 in DU145 cells [2].
Galiellalactone (5-50 μM; 1 hour) interferes with STAT3 DNA binding without inhibiting phosphorylation in DU145 cells [2].

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.
-
Genotoxicity/Mutagenicity Study
The bacterial reverse mutation assay detects point mutations that restore amino-acid prototrophy in auxotrophic Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli tester strains; after exposure to a test article, mutagenic activity is read out as an increased number of revertant colonies on minimal agar compared with the vehicle control. The assay uses tester strains with different mutation targets so that base-substitution and frameshift mutagens can be detected, and testing is performed with and without exogenous mammalian metabolic activation because some chemicals require biotransformation to become mutagenic.
