2-Methoxyjuglone

Catalog No.: A31728
Apoptosis Inducer
2-Methoxyjuglone is a naphthoquinone that functions primarily as an apoptosis inducer. It activates caspase-9 and caspase-3 through the mitochondrial cytochrome c-dependent intrinsic apoptosis pathway, leading to increased pro-apoptotic Bax levels and decreased anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 levels. 2-Methoxyjuglone also induces apoptosis by promoting mitochondrial cytochrome c release and is associated with morphological changes of apoptosis, early apoptotic signals, cell cycle arrest in S-phase and G2/M-phase, as well as DNA double-strand breaks. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive bacteria and pathogenic fungi, making it valuable in the research of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer, as well as in studies of fungal and bacterial infections.
