Norcantharidin is a demethylated form of the protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and PP2A inhibitor cantharidin (Item No. 14589) and a PP1 and PP2A inhibitor (IC50s = 9 and 3 µM, respectively).{46995,46996} It induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and apoptosis in HepG2, Hep3B, and Huh7 human hepatoma cell lines when used at a concentration of 5 µg/ml.{46996} Norcantharidin (500-5,000 µg/ml) reduces angiogenesis in a chick chorioallantoic membrane assay.{46997} It inhibits growth in a panel of nine human cancer cell lines, including breast, lung, skin, and glioblastoma cancer cells, with GI50 values ranging from 30 to 64 µM.{46995} Norcantharidin (28 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces tumor growth in a GBC-SD mouse xenograft model.
