Microtubule inhibitory effects of various SJ compounds on tissue culture cells
SJ compounds (SJ8002 and related compounds) are a group of novel anticancer agents (Cho, Chung, Lee, Kwon, Kang, Joo, and Oh. PCT/KR02/00392). To explore the anticancer mechanism of these compounds, we examined the effect of SJ8002 on microtubules of six human cell lines. At a high concentration (2...

Zusammenfassung: | SJ compounds (SJ8002 and related compounds) are a group of novel anticancer agents (Cho, Chung, Lee, Kwon, Kang, Joo, and Oh. PCT/KR02/00392). To explore the anticancer mechanism of these compounds, we examined the effect of SJ8002 on microtubules of six human cell lines. At a high concentration (2 μg/mL), SJ8002 effectively disrupted microtubules of the six cell lines within 1 h. At lower concentrations (0.05~1.0 μg/mL), the antimicrotubule activity of SJ8002 varied defending on cell lines. The inhibition ofin vitro polymerization of pure tubulin by SJ8002 suggested that SJ8002 acts on free tubulin, inhibits the polymerization of tubulin dimer into microtubules, and hence induces the depolymerization of microtubules. |
