Bruceantinol is a quassinoid that can be isolated from Brucea javanica, inhibits pepper mottle virus (PepMoV) in pepper. Bruceantinol is a STAT3 inhibitor demonstrating potent antitumor activity in in vitro and in vivo human colorectal cancer (CRC) models. Bruceantinol has potent anti-leukemic activity. Bruceantinol strongly inhibits STAT3 DNA-binding ability (IC50 = 2.4 pM), blocks the constitutive and IL-6-induced STAT3 activation, and suppresses transcription of MCL-1, PTTG1, survivin and c-Myc. Bruceantinol binds with CDK2/4/6 to facilitate protein degradation through proteasome pathway. Bruceantinol can dose- and time-dependently reduces the cell growth, impede cell proliferation, disrupts the cell cycle, and induces necrosis in MCF-7 cells and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Bruceantinol (Compound BOL) (0-100 nM, 24 h) significantly decreases colony formation in a dose-dependent manner across the human CRC cell line panel (HCT116, HCT116 p53-/-, HCA-7, H630 and H630R1)[2].
Bruceantinol (300 nM, 24 h) alters the expression of 25 proteins (p-STAT3, MCL-1, c-Myc, and cleaved caspase-7) in HCT116 cells, in which the STAT3-mediated signal pathway is significantly suppressed[2].
Bruceantinol (30 nM, 0-24 h) inhibits STAT3 phosphorylation in HCT116 cells[2].
Bruceantinol (10-300 nM, 24 h) potently suppresses IL-6-induced activation of STAT3 in CRC cells[2].
Bruceantinol (0-1000 nM, 24 h) significantly decreases expression of MCL-1, c-Myc, and surviving in a dose-dependent manner[2].
Bruceantinol (0-1600 nM, 24-48 h) reduces breast cancer cell (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) growth[3].
Bruceantinol (100-400 nM, 24 h) results in a gradual decrease in the number of cells in G0/G1 with a corresponding increase in the cell numbers in S and G2/M in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells[3].
Bruceantinol (100-400 nM, 10 h) decreases CDK2/4/6 protein levels dependently on the proteasome pathway in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
