Morindone is an anthraquinone found in Morinda citrifolia L. Morindone can inhibit cancer cells proliferation, induce apoptosis and cause G1 phase arrest. Morindone can inhibit activities of DNA polymerase and downregulate mutated TP53 and KRAS gene expression. Morindone can be used for the research of cancer, such as colon cancer.

Description

Morindone is an anthraquinone found in Morinda citrifolia L. Morindone can inhibit cancer cells proliferation, induce apoptosis and cause G1 phase arrest. Morindone can inhibit activities of DNA polymerase and downregulate mutated TP53 and KRAS gene expression. Morindone can be used for the research of cancer, such as colon cancer[1][2].

In Vitro

Morindone (0.39-50 μM, 24-72 h) inhibits the proliferation of KRAS-mutant HCT116 and TP53-mutant HT29 colorectal cancer cells[1].
Morindone (10.7-19.2 μM, 72 h) induces apoptosis in HCT116 and HT29 cells[1].
Morindone (10.7-19.2 μM, 24-72 h) induces G1 phase arrest in HCT116 and HT29 cells[1].
Morindone (10.7-19.2 μM, 72 h) downregulates mutated KRAS, BRAF, and mutated PIK3CA in HCT116 cells, and downregulates mutated TP53 and BAX, while upregulates p21 in HT29 cells[1].
Morindone (28.1-35.9 μM, 60 mins) inhibits the activities of animal A-family, B-family and Y-family DNA polymerases with IC50 values of 28.1-35.9 μM[2].
Morindone (24 h) inhibits the proliferation of human colon cancer HCT116 cells with an LD50of 32.2 μM[2].

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.
