Cu2LCl2(H2O)
Cu2LCl2(H2O) acts as a proteasome inhibitor and protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, with antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects. Cu2LCl2(H2O) exhibits low cytotoxicity against normal cells and remarkable in vivo antitumor efficacy. Cu2LCl2(H2O) inhibits proteasome activity in colon cancer cells, and suppresses PTP1B and TCPTP activities in breast cancer cells. Cu2LCl2(H2O) can be used in the research of colon cancer, breast cancer and liver cancer.

Biological Activity
[Cu2LCl2(H2O)] (compound 1) (0.5-25 μM; 48 h) potently inhibits proliferation of HCT-116, SW-480, HepG-2, and MCF-7 human tumor cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.68-1.94 μM after 48 h, while exhibiting high selectivity for colon cancer cells and moderate selectivity for liver cancer cells over normal human cells[1].
[Cu2LCl2(H2O)] (1-25 μM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent apoptosis in HCT-116 and MCF-7 human tumor cells after 24 h of treatment, with a more pronounced effect in HCT-116 cells[1].
[Cu2LCl2(H2O)] (1-10 μM; 12 h) induces dose-dependent accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins in HCT-116 and MCF-7 human tumor cells after 12 h of treatment at 1-10 μM, confirming functional proteasome inhibition[1].
[Cu2LCl2(H2O)] (1-25 μM; 12 h) modulates proteasome-related signaling pathways in HCT-116 human colon cancer cells after 12 h of treatment, increasing IκBα, p21, and Bax levels while decreasing NF-κB, Bcl-2, and E2F1 levels to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest[1].
[Cu2LCl2(H2O)] (1-25 μM; 12 h) inhibits PTP1B and TCPTP expression and activity in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells after 12 h of treatment, increasing phosphorylation of their downstream substrates to suppress tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis[1].
