Torulene
Torulene (Torulin) is an orally active carotenoid with anti-cancer activity. Torulene inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of tumor cells via a mitochondrial signal pathway and the down-regulation of androgen receptor (AR) expression. Torulene can be used for the study of prostate cancer.

Biological Activity
제품 설명
In Vitro
Torulene (40 μM, 24 h) exhibits dose-dependent inhibition of the proliferation of two types of LNCaP cells and PC-3 cells[2].
Torulene (30 μM, 12-48 h) leads to cell apoptosis time-dependently in LNCaP cells and PC-3 cells, and it is more significant in the androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells[2].
Torulene (10-40 μM, 24 h) reduces mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and Bax expression and leads to an increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration and Bcl-2 expression in LNCaP cells and PC-3 cells[2].
Torulene (10-30 μM, 24 h) significantly decreased AR and PSA protein and mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner in LNCaP cells.
