Phenethyl caffeate

Описание

Phenylethyl caffeate is one of the allergens of propolis (bee glue); also contained in poplar-bud secretions.

Химические свойства

Off-White Solid

Использование

Cytotoxic agent against cancer cell lines. Inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase and protein tyrosine kinase. Found to be a specific inhibitor of the nuclear transcription factor, NF-kB. It has also been shown to significantly suppress the lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism during inflammation.

Биологическая активность

Antioxidant, antimitogenic, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antiviral. Specifically inhibits NF- κ B activation and inhibits the growth of transformed cells. Also suppresses lipid peroxidation and inhibits ornithine decarboxylase, protein tyrosine kinase and lipoxygenase activities.

Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a natural phenolcompound and an active component of propolis from honeybee hives. Torkiet al. (2017)investigated the effect of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT/mammaliantarget of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway dual inhibitor, NVP-BEZ235,and CAPE on TNBC cell line (MDA-MB-231), stimulated withtransforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 for 14 days. CAPE in combination with NVP-BEZ235synergistically inhibited cell growth and reduced CXCR4 expression.Also, treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with CAPE and NVP-BEZ235 time-dependentlyinhibited the expression of p-Forkhead Box O3a (FOXO3a). In a nutshell,these results indicate that tumour metastasis and progression in TNBC cellscan be effectively reduced through the concurrent use of NVP-BEZ235 and CAPE(Torki et al. 2017).
