Descripción

General description

A bis-hydroxybenzoate compound that acts as a fast-acting, irreversible blocker of glucose transport by GLUT1 in red blood cells. Shown to rapidly inhibit glucose transport in cancer cells (IC₅₀ ~ 500 nM in A549 cells) and block proliferation. Its inhibitory effects are more pronounced in hypoxic cancer cells. It binds directly to GLUT1 involving three hydrogen bonds, one each with Asn³⁴, Arg¹²⁶, and Trp⁴¹². Also shown to reduce the levels of GLUT1 protein, intracellular ATP levels, and glycolytic enzymes and increase the level of AMPK in tumor cells. Preferentially induces cell cycle arrest and causes senescence and necrosis in red blood cells and tumor cells (IC₅₀ = 10 µM) over non cancerous cells and synergizes the anti-tumor effects of cisplatin (>Cat. No. 232120) and paclitaxel (>Cat. No. 580555). Also, effectively suppresses tumor growth in human A549 lung cancer grafted nude mice model (10 mg/kg, i.p., daily).
