Ir-CA
Ir-CA is an antitumor agent. Ir-CA can accumulate in mitochondria and induces mitochondria dysfunction. Ir-CA induces apoptosis and autophagy. Ir-CA initiates mitophagy and cell cycle arrest to kill Cisplatin (HY-17394)-resistant A549R cells. Ir-CA can effectively inhibit metastasis by inhibiting MMP-2/MMP-9.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Ir-CA shows cytotoxicity against A549, A549R, HLF, BEAS-2B, MCF-7, 4T1 cells with IC50s of 4.4, 4.5, 6.6, 2.3, 2.6, 5.7 μM respectively[1].
Ir-CA is quickly absorbed by the A549R cells (indicated by the red fluorescence after 1 h of incubation)[1].
Ir-CA (10 μM, 2 h) can accumulate in the mitochondria of living A549 and A549R cells (Co-staining experiments of Ir-CA with Mito-Tracker)[1].
Ir-CA (10 μM, 24 h) damages mitochondrial morphology and the mitochondrial function in A549R cells, and induces ROS production[1].
Ir-CA (10 μM, 24 h) induces cell apoptosis in A549R cells via a nonapoptotic/necrotic pathway, and also increases conversion from LC3-I to LC3-II, suggesting the autophagy[1].
Ir-CA (2.5 μM, 24 h) resensitizes the A549R cells to Cisplatin (HY-17394)[1].
Ir-CA (5 μM, 24 h) inhibitS the metastasis of A549R cells via down-regulation of MMPs[1].

In Vivo
Ir-CA (5 mg/kg, i.p., once every other day for 14 d) inhibits tumor growth in A549 tumor-bearing Balb/c nude mice[1].
