[CAS NO. 22862-76-6]  Anisomycin

Anisomycin (3 μM) decreases protein synthesis in MDA16 and MDA-MB-468 cells, and reduces colony formation by MDA-MB-468 cells. Anisomycin causes an increase in the number of apoptotic cells in MDA-MB-468 cultures, but not in MDA16 cultures. Anisomycin actives JNK phosphorylation in MDA-MB-468 cells. In U251 and U87 cells, anisomycin (0.01-8 μM) inhibits the cell growth in time- and concentration-dependent manners with the IC50 (48 h) values of 0.233 and 0.192 μmol/L, respectively. Anisomycin (4 μM) causes 21.5% and 25.3% of apoptosis proportion in U251 and U87 cells, respectively, and activates p38 MAPK and JNK, while inactivated ERK1/2. Anisomycin (4 μM) reduces the level of PP2A/C subunit in a time-dependent manner in U251 and U87 cells. Anisomycin inhibits EAC cell proliferation in concentration-dependent manner.
