Product Data:
Biological target: NKP-1339 (IT-139; KP-1339) is the first-in-class ruthenium-based anticancer agent in development against solid cancer with limited side effects. NKP-1339 induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, blockage of DNA synthesis, and induction of apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway.
In vitro activity: To understand BOLD-100-mediated signaling mechanism in breast cancer cells, this study used estrogen receptor positive (ER+) MCF7 breast cancer cells to obtain gene-metabolite integrated models. At 100 μM, BOLD-100 significantly reduced cell proliferation and expression of genes involved in the DNA repair pathway. BOLD-100 also induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phosphorylation of histone H2AX, gamma-H2AX (Ser139), suggesting disruption of proper DNA surveillance.
