  2. Microtubule/Tubulin Apoptosis Autophagy
  3. TN-16

TN-16 is a Microtubule polymerization inhibitor. TN-16 induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, metaphase mitotic arrest and Apoptotic cell death in cells, and blocks late Autophagic flux by inhibiting autophagosome-lysosome fusion. TN-16 suppresses tumor growth in syngeneic mouse breast cancer models. TN-16 can be used in research related to neuroblastoma, cervical cancer, breast cancer and other tumors.

Description

TN-16 is a Microtubule polymerization inhibitor. TN-16 induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, metaphase mitotic arrest and Apoptotic cell death in cells, and blocks late Autophagic flux by inhibiting autophagosome-lysosome fusion. TN-16 suppresses tumor growth in syngeneic mouse breast cancer models. TN-16 can be used in research related to neuroblastoma, cervical cancer, breast cancer and other tumors[1][2][3].

In Vitro

TN-16 (1 μM; 72 h) potently reduces the viability of neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, with an EC50 of 68 nM[1].
TN-16 exhibits cytotoxicity against cervical cancer HeLa cells[1].
TN-16 (200 nM-1 μM; 16 h) induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells[1].
TN-16 (1 μM; 16 h) causes only an extremely slight change in the ratio of tubulin polymerization/depolymerization in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells[1].
TN-16 (1 μM-10 μM; 61 min) inhibits the polymerization of purified tubulin in a dose-dependent manner, and a strong inhibitory effect is observed at a concentration of 10 μM[1].
TN-16 (1.25 µmol/L; 24-48 h) enhances apoptosis activation, which is manifested as increased cleavage levels of Caspase-3 and PARP in Atg7-knockdown HCT-116 (Bax+/-) cells[2].
Incubation with TN-16 (10 μM; up to 60 min) at 30°C for up to 60 min inhibits the assembly of porcine brain tubulin in vitro, as determined by turbidity measurement at 350 nm[3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]

Cell Line: human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells
Concentration: 1 μM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Exhibited cytotoxic activity with an EC50 of 68 nM.
Reduced cell viability to 34.7% of control.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells
Concentration: 200 nM-1 μM
Incubation Time: 16 h
Result: Induced a distinct G2/M cell cycle arrest at both tested concentrations.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: Atg7-knockdown human HCT-116 (Bax+/-) colon cancer cells
Concentration: 1.25 µmol/L
Incubation Time: 24, 48 h
Result: Induced enhanced cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP in Atg7-knockdown cells relative to autophagy-proficient scrambled control cells.
In Vivo

TN-16 (1 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 11 consecutive days) significantly inhibits breast tumor growth in orthotopic mouse models, with its mechanism of action being the blockade of autophagic flux and induction of apoptosis[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Crl:CD1-Foxn1nu (5- to 6-week-old female; orthotopic syngeneic breast cancer model via transplantation of 1×106 4T1 mouse mammary carcinoma cells into the mammary fat pad)[2]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; daily; 11 days
Result: Reduced tumour volume to ~270 mm3 by day 11 post-treatment initiation versus ~520 mm3 in controls.
Lowered average harvested tumour weight significantly compared to controls.
Increased levels of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3 in tumour tissue lysates.
Induced accumulation of p62 and increased LC3-II turnover, indicating blockade of autophagic flux and enhanced apoptosis.

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.
