Cajanol
Cajanol is an isoflavanone that can be isolated from the roots of Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.. Cajanol inhibits cancer cell proliferation and induces cancer cell apoptosis. Cajanol promotes the expression of Bax, inhibits the expression of Bcl-2, activates caspase-9 and caspase-3, induces PARP cleavage, arrests the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, generates ROS, disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and triggers cytochrome c release. Cajanol induces bacterial DNA damage, disrupts bacterial cell membranes, and exerts antibacterial activity in vitro. Cajanol reduces the expression of PI3K, inhibits the phosphorylation of Akt and NF-κB, downregulates the expression and transport function of P-gp, restores the sensitivity of drug-resistant cancer cells to Paclitaxel, and inhibits the growth of Paclitaxel-resistant metastatic ovarian tumors. Cajanol is applicable to research related to breast cancer, ovarian cancer and bacterial infections.

Biological Activity
Cajanol (0-316 μM; 24-72 h) potently inhibits the growth of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 54.05 μM at 72 h, 58.32 μM at 48 h, and 83.42 μM at 24 h[1].
Cajanol (16-64 μM; 48 h) induces concentration-dependent G2/M cell cycle arrest, concentration-dependent apoptosis, DNA fragmentation, and typical apoptotic nuclear morphological changes including chromatin condensation and fragmentation, as well as ROS production and mitochondrial membrane potential disruption in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells[1].
Cajanol (16-64 μM; 48 h) induces the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9, downregulates Bcl-2 expression and upregulates Bax expression, triggers concentration-dependent release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to the cytoplasm, and induces concentration-dependent cleavage of PARP in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells[1].
Cajanol (24 h) inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacterial strains (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) in vitro. The most susceptible strains (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli) have an MIC value of 98.90 μM, while the less susceptible strains (Bacillus subtilis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) have an MIC value of 197.8 μM[2].
Cajanol (4-10 h) induces time-dependent cell death and membrane damage, as well as DNA cleavage, in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro[2].
Cajanol (2-16 μM; 72 h) concentration-dependently reverses Paclitaxel (HY-B0015) resistance in A2780/Taxol and A549/Taxol cells[3].
Cajanol (2-8 μM; 48 h) concentration-dependently inhibits ABCB1 mRNA expression and P-gp protein in A2780/Taxol cells[3].
Cajanol (2-8 μM; 48 h) inhibits the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway in A2780/Taxol cells in a concentration-dependent manner by reducing PI3K expression, inhibiting Akt phosphorylation, and blocking the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB/p65[3].
Cajanol (2-8 μM; 2 h pre-incubation, 1 h co-incubation with rhodamine-123) concentration-dependently inhibits P-gp-mediated efflux activity in A2780/Taxol cells and increases intracellular rhodamine-123 accumulation[3].
