Biological target: Nimbolide induces apoptosis through inactivation of NF-κB. Nimbolide inhibits CDK4/CDK6 kinase activity. Nimbolide suppresses the NF-κB, Wnt, PI3K-Akt, MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways.
In vitro activity: Nimbolide impairs breast cancer cell proliferation in-part by disrupting RNF114-substrate recognition, leading to inhibition of ubiquitination and degradation of tumor suppressors such as p21, resulting in their rapid stabilization. This study further demonstrates that nimbolide can be harnessed to recruit RNF114 as an E3 ligase in targeted protein degradation applications and show that synthetically simpler scaffolds are also capable of accessing this unique reactive site. Reference: Nat Chem Biol. 2019 Jul;15(7):747-755. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31209351/
In vivo activity: Lastly, intraperitoneal administration of nimbolide in WM tumor xenografted mice, significantly reduced tumor growth and IgM secretion in vivo, while modulating the expression of several proteins as seen on immunohistochemistry.
