Description

Iridin is an orally active natural isoflavone. Iridin inhibits the PI3K/AKT and PKM2 signaling pathways, and downregulates the JAK/STAT and NF-κB pathways. Iridin induces Fas-mediated extrinsic apoptosis, G2/M cell cycle arrest, and inhibits cell proliferation. Iridin reduces inflammation, inhibits ROS production, suppresses glycolysis, and also exhibits antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Iridin can be used in research related to gastric cancer and acute lung injury[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Iridin (12.5-200 μM) induces apoptosis via the extrinsic pathway and regulates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in AGS gastric cancer cells, HaCaT cells, and TRAIL-resistant gastric cancer cells[1].

Iridin (10 nM-100 μM) exerts no anticancer effects on MCF-7 and T-47D breast cancer cells[1].
Iridin (12.5-200 μM; 48 h) inhibits the proliferation and induces the death of human gastric cancer AGS cells, with an IC50 of 161.3 μM; whereas it exerts no significant effect on the cell viability of human keratinocyte HaCaT cells after 48 h of treatment[2].
Iridin (50-200 μM; 48 h) induces G2/M cell cycle arrest in human gastric cancer AGS cells after 48 h of treatment by downregulating the expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins Cdc25C, CDK1, and Cyclin B1[2].
Iridin (50-200 μM; 48 h) induces apoptotic cell death in human gastric cancer AGS cells via the extrinsic apoptotic pathway[2].
Iridin (50-200 μM; 48 h) inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in human gastric cancer AGS cells by downregulating the phosphorylated (active) forms of PI3K and AKT, without affecting the expression of total PI3K or AKT[2].
Iridin (6.25-200 μM; 24 h) shows no cytotoxicity against RAW264.7 cells even at concentrations up to 100 μM. Based on its anti-inflammatory efficacy, concentrations of 12.5, 25 and 50 μM are selected for subsequent studies[3].

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.
