Vicanicin
Vicanicin is a depsidone compound found in lichens. Vicanicin inhibits the expression of Hsp70, regulates the redox-sensitive mechanisms within cells, promotes the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells, changes the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, activates caspase-3, and triggers apoptosis. Vicanicin inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in androgen-sensitive (LNCaP) and androgen-insensitive (DU-145) human prostate cancer cells. Vicanicin is promising for research of prostate cancer.
