摘要: Purpose: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in United States, and new drugs to treat disease are needed. cells highly metastatic exhibit resistance apoptosis. Small molecules that can restore sensitivity apoptosis or reduce metastasis would have therapeutic potential against this disease. Manzamine A an alkaloid isolated from marine sponges was suspected inhibitory activity mitogen activated kinase (MEK). Because this, effects were studied pancreatic cells. Methods: AsPC-1 treated for 48 h presence various concentrations their phenotype, cytotoxicity, cell invasion susceptibility observed. Results: decreased single formation, abrogated migration restored TRAIL-induced Its mechanism action remains unknown, as manzamine does not inhibit MEK. Conclusions: appears a formerly unrecognized blocking tumor well restoring vitro therefore has be used adjuvant existing therapies.
