OBJECTIVE
Indirubin-3'-monoxime, which is a selective and potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has shown preclinical activity in several human cancer cells. This study investigated if indirubin-3'-monoxime can induce apoptosis and tumor cell death in 3 human (A498, CAKI-1, CAKI-2) and
OBJECTIVE
The novel indirubin derivatives 5'-nitro-indirubinoxime, 5'-fluoro-indirubinoxime, and 5'-trimethylacetamino-indirubinoxime were designed and tested for antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo using rat tumor model.
METHODS
Three-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were inoculated s.c.
Although indirubin is known to exhibit anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities, very little is known about its mechanism of action. In this study, we investigated whether indirubin mediates its effects through interference with the NF-kappaB pathway. As examined by the DNA binding of NF-kappaB,

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most predominant malignancies with high fatality rate and its incidence is rising at an alarming rate because of its resistance to radio- and chemotherapy. Indirubin is the major active anti-tumor ingredient of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine.
Certain indirubin derivatives are potent cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3β) inhibitors and may be effective against various cancers. We evaluated the effects of aloisine A, alsterpaullone, aminopurvalanol, indirubin-3'-oxime, 6-Br-indirubin-3'-oxime, kenpaullone,
The aim of this study is to evaluate the antitumor effect of indirubin-3-monoxime and its mode of action in benzo(α)pyrene [B(α)P] induced lung cancer in A/J mice. Light microscopic examination of lung sections of [B(α)P] induced lung cancer mice revealed the presence of adenocarcinoma characterized
PHII-7, a derivative of indirubin, showed significant anti-cancer activities in vivo and in vitro. We asked whether treating human metastatic cancers and multidrug resistant cancer with PHII-7 would inhibit their invasion and migration. Cell growth was tested by MTT assay and colony formation assay.
A novel indirubin analog, indirubin-5-nitro-3'-monoxime, inhibited cell proliferation against various human cancer cells. Additional studies indicate that the mechanism of action of this analog against human lung cancer cells might be to arrest cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase and induce
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major impediment to the effective chemotherapy of many human malignancies, and novel MDR reversal agents are desirable for combination therapy to reduce MDR, enhance anti-tumor activity and reduce side effects. Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is the most
Indirubin has been identified as a component of a traditional Chinese medicine, Danggui Longhui Wan, which is used for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Indirubin inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells. Many indirubin
The c-Met protein is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in cell growth, proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis of several human tumors. Overexpression of c-Met has been found in gastric cancers and correlated with a poor prognosis. Indirubin is the active component of Danggui Longhui Wan, which
Indirubin, an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine, is considered as an anti-cancer agent. However, due to its hydrophobic nature, clinical efficiency has been limited. Drug delivery via nanotechnology techniques open new windows toward treatment of cancerous patients. Glioblastoma multiforme
Tumor angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks of the development in malignant neoplasias and metastasis. Many angiogenesis inhibitors are small molecules from natural products. Indirubin, the active component of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Banlangen, has been shown to exhibit antitumor and
TRAIL (TNFα-related apoptosis-inducing factor) has been promoted as a promising anti-cancer agent. Unfortunately many tumor cells develop resistance towards TRAIL due to numerous defects in apoptotic signaling. To handle this problem combination therapy with compounds affecting as many different
Indirubin-3'-monoxime (I3M) exhibits anti-proliferative activity in various cancer cells; however, its anti-cancer mechanism remains incompletely elucidated. This study revealed that I3M promotes the expression of death receptor 5 (DR5) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing
