CAS#: 287118-97-2

Description: NCX-4040 is an NO-donating aspirin and anti-inflammatory that blocks inflammatory mediator production in isolated human monocytes, decreases COX-2 expression, and disrupts proteasome-mediated degradation of iκB-α. NCX-4040 also acts as an antiproliferative in HCT116 colon cancer cells and sensitizes drug-resistant ovarian tumor cells to cisplatin.

Biological target: NCX4040 (NO-Aspirin), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is a nitric oxide (NO) releasing form of Aspirin.
In vitro activity: Data revealed that NCX4040 is more potent than its parent compound aspirin or NO releasing compound DETA NONOate. NCX4040 significantly induced hydrogen peroxide formation with ensuing oxidative stress and mitochondrial depolarization resulting in lipid peroxidation, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of colony growth and induction of apoptosis in PC3 cells. Moreover, NCX4040 inhibited migration potential of PC3 cells by depolymerizing F-actin and promoting anoikis. Reference: Free Radic Biol Med. 2019 Nov 1;143:494-509. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31446057/
In vivo activity: In the in vivo experiments, tumor-bearing mice were treated with NCX 4040, five times a week, for six consecutive weeks. In in vivo studies, both NCX 4040 and its parental compound were administered per os. NCX 4040 induced a 40% reduction in tumor weight. Conversely, aspirin did not influence tumor growth at all.
