High impact information on Moscatilin

  • However, unlike some G2 arresting agents, moscatilin has no detectable inhibitory effect on cyclin B-cdc-2 kinase activity [1].
  • Our results have shown that moscatilin exerts potent cytotoxic effect against cancer cell lines derived from different tissue origins, including those from the placenta, stomach, and lung, but not those from the liver [1].
  • In addition, we have found that the mechanism of action of moscatilin may be related to its ability to induce a G2 phase arrest in responsive cells [1].
  • When using 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (furylfuramide) as the mutagen, moscatilin suppressed 85% of the umu gene expression compared to the controls at <0.73 micromol/mL, with an ID(50) value of 0.41 micromol/mL [2].
  • Interestingly, moscatilin almost completely suppressed (97%) the AFB(1)-induced SOS response at concentrations <0.73 micromol/mL, with an ID(50) of 0.08 micromol/mL [2].
