Usenamine A
Usenamine A is an orally active natural dibenzofuran compound with multiple biological activities such as anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Usenamine A inhibits the AKT/mTOR/STAT3/ID1 signaling axis and induces ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of ID1. Usenamine A targets the TNF-TNFR2 complex, inhibits RGS2, and interferes with Myosin-9/actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Usenamine A induces apoptosis, autophagy and ROS-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress in cancer cells, inhibits cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Usenamine A alleviates arthritis-related symptoms. Usenamine A can be used in studies related to liver cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

Usenamine A (15 μM; 4-12 h) upregulates LC3II and downregulates Cleaved-Notch1 in H1299 and H520 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, and autophagy induction and Notch1 inhibition occur via independent pathways[4].
Usenamine A (0-15 μM; 48 h) induces dose-dependent apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells, and the apoptosis rate at the concentration of 15 μM increases by approximately 5-fold compared with untreated cells[5].
