Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluorizoline is a prohibitin (PHB) 1/2-binding diaryl trifluorothiazoline compound that induces p53-independent apoptosis in various cancer cultures (IC50 from 1.6 μM/Bx-PC3 to 9.4 μM/JeKo 1; 24 h) and upregulates proapoptotic Noxa and Bim mRNAs in wild-type, but not PHBs-depleted MEFs. Box(-/-)/Bak(-/-) or Noxa(-/-)/Bim(-/-) MEFs as well as BAX/BAK- or NOXA-downregulated HeLa cells are resistant to fluorizoline-induced apoptosis. Fluorizoline treatment is shown to prevent active RAS-CRAF interaction and downstream MEK1/2 activation following EGF stimulation in HeLa cells (10 μM).

A new class of small molecules, with an unprecedented trifluorothiazoline scaffold, were synthesized and their pro-apoptotic activity was evaluated. With an EC50 in the low micromolar range, these compounds proved to be potent inducers of apoptosis in a broad spectrum

KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in human non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). RAS proteins trigger multiple effector signalling pathways including the highly conserved RAF-MAPK pathway. CRAF, a direct RAS effector protein, is required for KRAS-mediated tumourigenesis.

Fluorizoline is a new synthetic molecule that induces apoptosis by selectively targeting prohibitins. In the study herein, the pro-apoptotic effect of fluorizoline was assessed in 34 primary samples from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Fluorizoline induced apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic
The prohibitin-binding compound fluorizoline induces apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells ex vivo but fails to prevent leukemia development in a murine model.
