EF24 is a synthetic curcumin analogue and a potent NF-κB inhibitor with demonstrated oral bioavailability and strong antitumor activity. It exerts its anticancer effects, particularly in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), through deactivation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. EF24 is effective against various cancer cell lines, with GI₅₀ values of 0.7 μM in melanoma and 0.8 μM in breast cancer cells.
In MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer) and DU-145 (prostate cancer) cells, EF24 induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, accompanied by increased activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. It also reduces the phosphorylation of MEK1 and ERK, further contributing to its pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects. These properties make EF24 a promising compound for cancer therapy research.
