Molephantin
Molephantin is a blood-brain barrier permeable anti-glioblastoma compound. Molephantin induces ROS generation, leading to mitochondrial damage, Mitophagy flux blockage and Apoptosis induction. Molephantin can suppress the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Molephantin demonstrates antitumor effects against glioblastoma.

-
Concentration:1-10 μM
-
Incubation Time:6-24 h
-
Result:Decreased p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR expression; reversed by NAC

-
Animal Model:BALB/c nude mice (female, 7 weeks old)[1]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg; 30 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; every two days; until day 21 post-administration
-
Result:Decreased tumor volume significantly; Reduced mean tumor weight to 0.17±0.05 g (10 mg/kg) and 0.12±0.07 g compared to control; Increased expression of apoptosis-related proteins (cleaved caspase 9, cleaved caspase 7, cleaved caspase 3, cleaved PARP) in tumor tissues; Increased Cleaved caspase 3-positive cells and TUNEL-positive cells; Decreased Ki67-positive cells.
-
Animal Model:C57BL/6 mice (male, 20–22 g)[1]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.
-
Result:Detected a high chromatographic peak matching the Molephantin standard sample at 3.76 min in both plasma and brain tissue samples, confirming penetration through the blood-brain barrier.
