Cucurbitacin I, Cucumis sativus L. has been found to suppress levels of phosphotyrosine Stat3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) in v-Src-transformed NIH 3T3 cells.
SD 1008 is reported to be a JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor which additionally inhibits Src. SD 1008 is noted to induce apoptosis in cell lines that express constitutively active tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT3.
