Product Description
Asperphenamate is a fungal metabolite from Aspergillus flatiipes with anti-tumor activity, with IC50s of 92.3 μM, 96.5 μM and 97.9 μM against T47D, MDA-MB-231 and HL-60 cells respectively.
Asperphenamate (CAS 63631-36-7) is a natural product isolated from Aspergillus species, with a unique chemical structure consisting of two phenylalanine units linked by an ester bond. With the molecular formula C₂₇H₂₈N₂O₆ and a molecular weight of 476.52 g/mol, this compound exhibits anti-tumor activity and can induce apoptosis. Asperphenamate has been shown to be active against various cancer cell lines and is being studied for its potential as an anticancer agent. Its mechanism of action involves the induction of apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway and the inhibition of cell proliferation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Asperphenamate targets various cellular pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival. The compound has been shown to induce apoptosis in cancer cells through the mitochondrial pathway, leading to the activation of caspases and the cleavage of PARP. Asperphenamate also inhibits cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. The compound's effects are mediated through the modulation of various signaling pathways, including the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways.
ln Vitro
Asperphenamate completely induces autophagy, which suppresses the growth of cancer cells. In addition to having a modest inhibitory impact on cathepsin S, asperphenamate also inhibits cathepsin L.
In vitro, Asperphenamate has been shown to exhibit potent anti-tumor activity against a panel of cancer cell lines, including breast, lung, colon, and liver cancer cells. The compound's IC₅₀ values range from 0.5 to 5 µM, depending on the cell line. Asperphenamate induces apoptosis, as evidenced by the activation of caspases, the cleavage of PARP, and the increase in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. The compound also inhibits cell migration and invasion, suggesting potential anti-metastatic activity.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Asperphenamate has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in xenograft mouse models. Administration of Asperphenamate at doses of 10-50 mg/kg resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition in models of breast and lung cancer. The compound was well-tolerated, with no significant body weight loss observed. Histopathological analysis of tumor tissues confirmed the induction of apoptosis and the inhibition of cell proliferation.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Asperphenamate have not been extensively characterized. However, the compound's effects on cell signaling pathways can be assessed using Western blot analysis of key signaling proteins, such as AKT, ERK, and p53. The compound's ability to induce apoptosis can be assessed by measuring caspase activity and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular experiments for Asperphenamate are performed using cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound for 24-72 hours, and cell viability is measured using an MTT or CellTiter-Glo assay. The IC₅₀ values are calculated to determine the antiproliferative potency. The effects of Asperphenamate on apoptosis and cell cycle progression are assessed by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins is assessed by Western blot.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Asperphenamate are conducted using immunocompromised mice bearing subcutaneous human tumor xenografts. Tumor-bearing mice are randomized into treatment and control groups and administered the compound via intraperitoneal or oral routes at various doses. Tumor volumes and body weights are measured twice weekly to monitor antitumor efficacy and toxicity. At the end of the study, tumors are collected for histopathological analysis and to measure biomarkers of apoptosis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of Asperphenamate have not been extensively characterized. As a natural product, its oral bioavailability and half-life may be limited. Further studies are needed to characterize its pharmacokinetic profile and to optimize its formulation for in vivo use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Asperphenamate has been evaluated in preclinical studies. At therapeutic doses, the compound is generally well-tolerated, with no significant adverse effects observed. However, high doses may cause hepatotoxicity or other organ toxicities. Standard toxicology studies would be required to fully characterize its safety profile.

Additional Infomation
Asperphenamate ester is a carboxylic acid ester formed by the condensation of the carboxyl group of N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine and the hydroxyl group of N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine. It is a metabolite found in various Penicillium and Aspergillus fungi, as well as plants, and is a product of endophytic fungi. It possesses antitumor activity. Asperphenamate ester is a derivative of L-phenylalanine, belonging to the benzamide class of compounds, and is also a carboxylic acid ester. Functionally, it is related to both N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine and N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine. Asperphenamate ester has been reported to exist in Begonia nantoensis, Artemisia anomala, and other organisms with relevant data.
Asperphenamate is a natural product with anti-tumor activity, isolated from Aspergillus species. It induces apoptosis in cancer cells through the mitochondrial pathway and inhibits cell proliferation. Asperphenamate has shown potent activity against various cancer cell lines and has demonstrated antitumor efficacy in xenograft mouse models. Its unique chemical structure and mechanism of action make it a promising lead compound for the development of novel anticancer agents.
