Description: Trabectedin (Ecteinascidin 743) has potent antitumor activity and the potential for soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian cancer research. Trabectedin inhibits cell growth of MX-1, MCF7 and MCF7/DXR cells with IC50 values of 0.1 nM, 1.5 nM and 3.7 nM, respectively. Target: Reactive Oxygen Species, Apoptosis....

Trabectedin is an alkaloid that has been found in E. turbinata and has anticancer activity. It is a guanine-specific DNA alkylating agent and an antagonist of the pregnane X receptor (PXR, IC50 = ~3 nM in a reporter assay). Trabectedin reduces viability of DU145 and PC3 human prostate cancer stem cells in a...
