Description
Ellipticine quinone, also known as NSC-383230, is a Drp1 inhibitor. rpitor1 and Drpitor1a inhibited the GTPase activity of Drp1 without inhibiting the GTPase of dynamin 1. Ellipticine quinone showed greater potency than the current std. Drp1 GTPase inhibitor, mdivi-?1, (IC50 for mitochondrial fragmentation are (0.06, and 10 μM, resp.)?. Ellipticine quinone suppressed lung cancer tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model. Ellipticine quinone also inhibited mitochondrial ROS prodn., prevented mitochondrial fission, and improved right ventricular diastolic dysfunction during IR injury.
Uses
Drpitor1a is a potent Drp1 inhibitor. Drpitor1a inhibits mitochondrial ROS production, preventes mitochondrial fission, and improves right ventricular diastolic dysfunction during IR (ischemia reperfusion) injury. Drpitor1a has the potential for the research of lung cancer[1][2].
