Application

Cambinol has been used:
  • as an inhibitor of sirutins (SIRT1 and 2) in hepatocarcinoma cell lines to test its effect on cellular viability and colony formation
  • as a SIRT1 and SIRT2 inhibitor to test its effect on frizzled 7 (FZD7) expression in the breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and T-47D cells
  • as a sirutin inhibitor in L929 cells to test its protective effect against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced cell death

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cambinol is a Sirtuin (Human Silent Information Regulator) Type 1/2 Inhibitor. Sirtuins are structurally and mechanistically unrelated to HDACs Class 1 & 2 deacetylases but share many protein targets. HDAC is a large complex enzyme family involved in epigenetic-control of gene expression. Sirt2 has an IC50 equal to 59 μM.
Cambinol, a β-naphthol compound, elicits antitumor activity and impairs the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. It has ability to inhibit the secretion of inflammatory cytokines including the tumor necrosis factor and interleukins. Cambinol can be a potential therapeutic agent for treating inflammatory diseases. It also aids protection in events of endotoxic and septic shock.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) counteracts the efficiency of sorafenib, an important first-line therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Sirtuins (SIRTs) 1 and 2 are associated with tumor progression and MDR. We treated 2D and 3D cultures (which mimic the features of in

Epigenetic modifications are thought to occur through two key interconnected processes—DNA methylation and the covalent modification of histones.
