HIDE SMILES / InChI
Levistolide A is a naturally occurring compound isolated from Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat cancer. Levistolide has been studied in vitro against cell models for colon cancer and breast cancer. It was effective at inducing ER programmed apoptosis in colon cancer cells. In a cell model for breast cancer, levistolide was shown to enhance the apoptotic effects of adriamycin and vincristine. The effect of levistomide is correlated with cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP and up-regulation of caspase-3.

Sample Use Guides

Rats were treated with Levistolide A at the doses of 20mk/kg
Route of Administration: Oral
HCT116 and HCT116 p53-/- colon cancer cells were maintained in DMEM with 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicilin, and 100 micro-g/mL streptomycin at 37 deg-C and an atmosphere with 5% CO2. Cells were treated with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µM) of Levistolide A for 24 h and 48 h. Cell viability was assessed by use of an MTT assay. The viability of HCT116 cells was inhibited by Levistolide A in a time- and dose-dependent manner through induction of apoptosis via the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway, mediated by the presence of reactive oxygen species.
