Description
Downregulate phosphorylation of STAT3, increase the expression of cleaved caspase-3, inhibit cell cycle progression and promote apoptosis in breast and pancreatic cancer cells with low micromolar to nanomolar IC50 values. Furthermore, HJC-0123 significantly suppressed estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumor growth in vivo (p.o.), indicating its great potential as an efficacious and orally bioavailable drug candidate for human cancer therapy.
Uses
HJC0123 is a STAT3 inhibitor. HJC0123 inhibits the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. HJC0123 reduces the phosphorylation, nuclear translocation and transcriptional activities of STAT3, increases the production of IL-6, inhibits the phosphorylation of Smad2/3 and down-regulates SOCS3. HJC0123 can be used in the study of liver fibrosis[1].
