Senexin B

Pretreatment of tumor-free mice with Senexin B significantly inhibits the growth of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells inoculated into mice subsequently to Senexin B administration, indicating a general chemopreventive effect on the normal tissue "soil" . Senexin B potentiates the tumor-suppressive effect of doxorubicin on established TNBC xenografts; this effect is associated with the suppression of NFκB-mediated transcriptional induction of tumor-promoting cytokines. Senexin B inhibits invasive growth into the muscle layer in an orthotopic xenograft model of MDA-MB-468 TNBC cells. In a spleen-to-liver colon cancer metastasis model of syngeneic mouse CT26 tumors, Senexin B treatment of mice have the same effect as CDK8 knockdown in tumor cells: suppression of metastatic growth in the liver without a significant effect on primary tumor growth in the spleen^[1]. Senexin B suppresses tumor growth and augmentes the effects of fulvestrant in ER-positive breast cancer xenografts^[2].
