Product Description
CLEFMA is a curcumin with anti-tumor effects. CLEFMA inhibits tumor growth and is associated with NF-κB-regulated anti~inflammatory and anti-metastatic effects.
CLEFMA is a curcumin analog with anti-tumor activity. It inhibits tumor growth associated with NF-κB-regulated anti-inflammatory and anti-metastatic effects. The compound has the molecular formula C23H17Cl2NO4. CLEFMA has anti-proliferative activity and has been studied in various cancer models including lung adenocarcinoma and osteosarcoma. It induces apoptosis and inhibits cell viability in cancer cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CLEFMA targets NF-κB signaling pathways. By inhibiting NF-κB-regulated inflammatory and metastatic processes, the compound suppresses tumor growth. The compound's mechanism involves both anti-inflammatory and anti-metastatic effects. CLEFMA induces apoptosis in cancer cells. As a curcumin analog, it shares structural features with curcumin but has enhanced activity.
ln Vitro
CLEFMA possesses anti-proliferative action (1-100 μM; 24-72 h)[1]. H441 and A549 cells' viability is inhibited by CLEFMA, with IC50s of 6.4 and 8.9 μM, respectively[2]. H441 and A549 cells undergo apoptosis when exposed to CLEFMA (5–10 μM; 24 h)[2]. In H441 cells, CLEFMA (1 and 10 μM; 24 h) causes autophagic death[1]. CLEFMA (1–20 μM) dose-dependently decreases NF-κB's DNA-binding activity in H441 cells[2].
In vitro studies demonstrate that CLEFMA (1-100 μM; 24-72 h) has anti-proliferative activity. The compound inhibits the viability of H441 and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells with IC50 values of 6.4 and 8.9 μM, respectively. When exposed to CLEFMA (5-10 μM; 24 h), H441 and A549 cells undergo apoptosis. CLEFMA dose-dependently decreases the cell viabilities of human osteosarcoma U2OS and HOS cells and significantly induces apoptosis. The compound has been investigated in lung adenocarcinoma H441 and A549, and normal lung fibroblast CCL151 cell lines.
ln Vivo
In a xenograft mouse model, CLEFMA (0.2-0.4 mg/kg; ip daily for 4 weeks) suppresses the uptake of FDG in tumor tissue and inhibits tumor growth[2]. Pro-apoptotic protein BID is cleaved and pro-apoptotic BAX is expressed in tumor tissue when CLEFMA (0.2–0.4 mg/kg; intraperitoneal; daily for 4 weeks) is administered. It also downregulates the expression of anti-apoptotic markers cIAP1, Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, and survivin[2].
In vivo, CLEFMA has demonstrated tumor suppression in a xenograft model of H441 cells implanted in mice. The compound inhibits tumor growth associated with NF-κB-regulated anti-inflammatory and anti-metastatic effects. CLEFMA induces apoptosis and inflammatory markers during tumor suppression. The compound's in vivo efficacy has been demonstrated in mouse xenograft models.
Enzyme Assay
The NF-κB inhibitory activity of CLEFMA can be assessed using reporter assays or by measuring NF-κB target gene expression. In a typical assay, cells are treated with varying concentrations of CLEFMA, and NF-κB activation is measured by luciferase reporter assay or by Western blotting for NF-κB target proteins. The anti-proliferative activity is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Apoptosis is measured by annexin V/propidium iodide staining or caspase activation assays.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: PANC-1, MiaPaCa -2, PC-3 and H441 cells
Tested Concentrations: 1, 10, 25, 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 24, 48, 72 h
Experimental Results: Inhibits cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.
The cellular activity of CLEFMA is assessed using various cancer cell lines including lung adenocarcinoma H441 and A549, osteosarcoma U2OS and HOS, and normal lung fibroblast CCL151 cells. Cells are treated with CLEFMA (1-100 μM; 24-72 h). Cell viability is measured using MTT assays, and IC50 values are calculated. Apoptosis is assessed by annexin V/propidium iodide staining. NF-κB target gene expression is measured by qPCR or Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male athymic nu/nu (nude) mice (4 weeks old) are injected H441 cells[2]
Doses: 0.2, 0.4 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Ip daily for 4 weeks
Experimental Results: Inhibited tumor growth up to 96% tumor at dose of 0.4 mg/kg.
CLEFMA has been evaluated in a xenograft model of H441 lung adenocarcinoma cells implanted in mice. In this model, tumor-bearing mice are treated with CLEFMA, and tumor volumes are measured. The compound inhibits tumor growth. Changes in apoptosis and inflammatory markers are investigated during CLEFMA-induced tumor suppression. The compound's anti-metastatic effects can be assessed in appropriate metastasis models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data has been published for CLEFMA. The compound has a molecular weight of approximately 454.3 g/mol and a molecular formula of C23H17Cl2NO4. As a curcumin analog, it is likely to have moderate oral bioavailability and metabolic stability. Further studies would be needed to characterize its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties, including plasma protein binding, clearance, and half-life.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicity data has been published for CLEFMA. In vitro studies using normal lung fibroblast CCL151 cells suggest that the compound may have some selectivity for cancer cells. As a curcumin analog, it may have a favorable safety profile, but comprehensive toxicology studies would be required to evaluate its safety for potential therapeutic development. The compound is intended for research use only.
