In Vitro

iMPZ-8 (1-80 μM; 72 h) potently inhibits proliferation in MDA-MB-231, SH-SY5Y, and DLD-1 cancer cells with IC50 values of 7.5 μM, 9.2 μM, and 19.7 μM, respectively[1].
iMPZ-8 (3 μM; 48 h) significantly inhibits β-tubulin expression and disrupts microtubule structure in MDA-MB-231 cells, with efficacy similar to nocodazole[1].
iMPZ-8 (3 μM; 48 h) inhibits migration in MDA-MB-231 cells by approximately 50%[1].
iMPZ-8 (3 μM; 7 to 10 days) reduces colony formation in MDA-MB-231 cells by approximately 30%[1].
iMPZ-8 (3 μM; 48 h) induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].
iMPZ-8 (3 μM; 48 h) induces intrinsic apoptosis via the BAX-Caspase-3 pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231, SH-SY5Y, DLD-1
Concentration: 1-80 μM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Exhibited antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 7.5 μM in MDA-MB-231 cells, 9.2 μM in SH-SY5Y cells, and 19.7 μM in DLD-1 cells.

ELISA Assay[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231
Concentration: 3 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Markedly inhibited β-tubulin protein expression, with effects comparable to Nocodazole (HY-13520) (a known β-tubulin antagonist).

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231
Concentration: 3 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Induced accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, similar to Nocodazole.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231
Concentration: 3 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Induced accumulation in early and late apoptosis.
Increased BAX and Caspase 3 levels and reduced Bcl-2 levels.

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.
