Tool Details
- Tool name: Antitumoral Quinol1h Small Molecule (Tool Compound)
- Molecular formula: C20H14FNO4S
- Tool type: Small molecules
- Tool sub-type: Antitumoral
- Molecular weight of the target: 383.4
- Application: Antitumor activity observed in HCT 116 (GI50 = 40 nM) and HT 29 (GI50 = 380 nM), and in breast cancer cell lines. Potent inhibitory effect in NCI 60 cells (GI50 =16 nM and LC50 = 2.24 ÂľM).
- Description: A new class of molecule (4-hydroxy-4-hetarylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones) bearing a new pharmacophore (quinols') has been identified with potent activity against renal, colon and breast cell lines in the NCI 60-cell panel.
- Research area: Cell Cycle; Epigenetics & Nuclear Signalling
- IUPAC: 4-(1-Benzenesulfonyl-6-fluoro-1Hindol-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-cyclohexa-2,5-dienone
- Additional notes: Exhibits a mean GI50 value of 16 nM and a mean LC50 value of 2.24 uM in the NCI 60- cell-line screen, with LC50 activity in the HCT 116 human colon cancer cell line below 10 nM. Compound available for screening or similar studies. For larger quantities (>20mg) please contact Ximbio.
