Abstract

The antiproliferative activities of 12-oxoheteronemin and heteronemin were evaluated in six cancer cell lines and IC50 values ranging from 0.66 to 1.35 μM were obtained. In four of the cell lines, 12-oxoheteronemin and heteronemin were equipotent; however, in two estrogenic receptor-positive cell lines, heteronemin showed a stronger potency. Both compounds had no overt effects on cell cycle distribution in HeLa cells, but did rapidly initiate apoptosis as evidenced by increased sub-G1 populations of cells and caspase-dependent PARP cleavage.
