Nudol

Nudol is a phenanthrene compound that has anti-cancer activity. Nudol inhibits cell proliferation, induces cell apoptosis. Nudol inhibits MMP-2M and MMP-9 activity (Ki: 988.9 nM, 1.76 μM, respectively). Nudol can be used in the research of cancers, such as osteosarcoma[1][2].

MMP-2: 988.9 nM (Ki); MMP-9: 1.76 μM (Ki)
