Gambogic acid is an antagonist of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins.
The natural product gambogic acid (GA) has been reported to have cytotoxic activity against tumor cells in culture and was identified as an active compound in a cell-based high-throughput screening assay for activators of caspases, proteases involved in apoptosis. Using the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, Bfl-1, as a target for screening of a library of natural products, we identified GA as...
متن کاملApogossypol derivatives as antagonists of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins.
Guided by a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance binding assays and computational docking studies, we synthesized a library of 5,5' substituted Apogossypol derivatives as potent Bcl-XL antagonists. Each compound was subsequently tested for its ability to inhibit Bcl-XL in an in vitro fluorescence polarization competition assay and exert single-agent proapoptotic activity in human cancer ce...
متن کاملBcl-2 Antiapoptotic Proteins Inhibit Beclin 1-Dependent Autophagy
Apoptosis and autophagy are both tightly regulated biological processes that play a central role in tissue homeostasis, development, and disease. The anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2, interacts with the evolutionarily conserved autophagy protein, Beclin 1. However, little is known about the functional significance of this interaction. Here, we show that wild-type Bcl-2 antiapoptotic proteins, but ...
متن کاملDirect Inhibition of Antiapoptotic Bcl-2-Family Proteins Cancer Prevention by Tea Polyphenols Is Linked to Their
Epidemiological data and in vitro studies on cancer chemoprevention by tea polyphenols have gained attention recently from the scientific community, nutritionists, the pharmaceutical industry, and the public. Despite the several efforts made recently to elucidate the molecular basis for the anticancer activity of these natural products, little correlation has been found thus far between the put...
