Description of EF24

EF24 is a novel synthetic curcumin analog [1]. EF24 induces apoptosis of cancer cells through a redox-dependent mechanism [2]. EF24 has anti-tumor and anti-aging effects [3-4].

In A549 cells, EF24 (0μM, 0.5μM, 1μM, 2μM, 4μM, 8μM, 16μM; 24h, 48h) inhibits the growth of NSCLC cells in vitro [5]. In K562 cells, EF24 (2μM; 24h) exhibits potent cell killing activity in leukemia cell lines [6]. In SKOV-3, EF24 (3μM; 48h) treatment attenuates ovarian cancer cell proliferation and metastasis [7].

In subcutaneous HCC tumor mice model, EF24 (20mg/kg; ip; 21d) inhibits tumor growth and induces apoptosis [8]. In C57/BL6 mice, EF24 (200μg/kg; ip; 14d) significantly inhibited the significant increase in JunB, JunC, and JunD levels in distant lung tissues after infrared irradiation [9]. In DU145 subcutaneous tumor mice model, EF24 (200μg/kg; ip; 4 weeks) treatment significantly slowed tumor growth [10].

Protocol of EF24

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

A549 cells

Preparation Method

For cell growth/viability (MTT) assays, A549 cells were seeded in standard 96-well plates with 4000 cells and allowed to grow for 24h to ensure attachment. The growth medium was then replaced with a medium that contained EF24 at the final concentration of 0μM, 0.5μM, 1μM, 2μM, 4μM, 8μM and 16μM.

Reaction Conditions

0μM, 0.5μM, 1μM, 2μM, 4μM, 8μM, 16μM; 24h, 48h

Applications

EF24 inhibits the growth of NSCLC cells in vitro.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Subcutaneous HCC tumor mice model

Preparation Method

Approximately 2×106 Hepa1-6 cells in 200µL PBS were injected subcutaneously into each animal’s back (n = 20). EF24 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and diluted in sodium chloride. Ten days post-injection, EF24-treated mice (n = 10) were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 200µL EF24 at a dose of 20mg/kg/d for 21d. Control mice (n = 10) were injected i.p. with 200µL PBS daily. On day 22, tumors were removed and weighed.

Dosage form

20mg/kg; ip; 21d

Applications

EF24 inhibits tumor growth and induces apoptosis in a subcutaneous HCC tumor model.
