What is Terameprocol?

The Uses of Terameprocol

Terameprocol is a synthetic derivative of NDGA and non-selective lipoxygenase inhibitor.

What are the applications of Application

Terameprocol is a synthetic derivative of NDGA and non-selective lipoxygenase inhibitor

Definition

ChEBI: Terameprocol is a lignan.

Biological Activity

tetramethyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid (tmndga) is a synthetic derivative of ndga (nordihydroguaiaretic acid), a non-selective lipoxygenase inhibitor. tmndga showed the strongest anti-hiv activity.

in vitro

in vero cells, tmndga inhibited sp1 transcription factor binding at the hiv long terminal repeat promoter and at the α-icp4 promoter with ic50 values of 11 and 43.5 μm, respectively. the ic50 of tmndga varied between 11.7 and 4 μm in 10 passages of hsv-1 and 4 passages of hsv-2 [2]. tmndga inhibited sp1-dependent cdc2 gene expression. in m4n-treated transformed c3 cells, tmndga induced growth arrest and apoptosis by suppressing sp1-dependent cdc2 and survivin gene expression giving rise to its antitumorigenic activity [3]. tmndga treatment suppressed expression of the sp1-dependent survivin gene. in transiently and stably survivin-transfected c3 cells, tmndga reduced caspase-3 activation by 50% and 75%, respectively [3]. tmndga inhibited the growth of a number of tumor cell lines by inducing apoptosis in a non-schedule-dependent manner [4]. tmndga inhibited the synthesis of dna by melanoma cells and causes cell cycle arrest in g0/g1 and g2/m phases of the cell cycle [4].

in vivo

tmndga effectively inhibited the growth of human tumors in nude mice [5]. tmndga inhibited the growth of both murine and human melanomas and human colon cancer without apparent hepatic or renal toxicity [4]. in nude (nu/nu) mice bearing xenografts of human tumor types (hep 3b, lncap, ht-29, mcf7, and k-562), treatment with tmndga (i.v. or i.p.) down-regulated cdc2 and survivin genes expression [5].
