General description
A bis-hydroxybenzoate compound that acts as a fast-acting, irreversible blocker of glucose transport by GLUT1 in red blood cells. Shown to rapidly inhibit glucose transport in cancer cells (IC50 ~ 500 nM in A549 cells) and block proliferation. Its inhibitory effects are more pronounced in hypoxic cancer cells. It binds directly to GLUT1 involving three hydrogen bonds, one each with Asn34, Arg126, and Trp412. Also shown to reduce the levels of GLUT1 protein, intracellular ATP levels, and glycolytic enzymes and increase the level of AMPK in tumor cells. Preferentially induces cell cycle arrest and causes senescence and necrosis in red blood cells and tumor cells (IC50 = 10 µM) over non cancerous cells and synergizes the anti-tumor effects of cisplatin (>Cat. No. 232120) and paclitaxel (>Cat. No. 580555). Also, effectively suppresses tumor growth in human A549 lung cancer grafted nude mice model (10 mg/kg, i.p., daily).

Guanine quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acid structures commonly found in regulatory genomic regions. G4 targeting has emerged as a therapeutic approach in cancer. We have screened naphthalene-diimides (NDIs), a class of G4 ligands, in a cellular model of colorectal

Adaptation to chronic hypoxia occurs through changes in protein expression, which are controlled by hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) and are necessary for cancer cell survival. However, the mechanisms that enable cancer cells to adapt in early hypoxia, before the HIF1α-mediated

Metastatic tumors remain lethal due to primary/acquired resistance to therapy or cancer stem cell (CSC)-mediated repopulation. We show that a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) activates starvation escape pathways in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, which can be identified and targeted by
