Notes: Bruceantin is a quassinoid originally isolated from B. antidysenterica that has diverse biological activities.{54980,42191,54981} It inhibits protein synthesis in HeLa cells, reticulocytes, and reticulocyte lysates (IC50s = 30, 40, and 1,600 nM, respectively).{54980} Bruceantin is active against chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant strains of P. falciparum (IC50s = 8 and 13 nM, respectively).{42191} It induces apoptosis in HL-60 leukemia and RPMI-8226 multiple myeloma cells (IC50s = 12.2 and 12.8 nM, respectively).{54981} Bruceantin (5 mg/kg) induces tumor regression in an RPMI-8226 mouse xenograft model.
