Galloflavin is a Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) inhibitor with IC50 values of 201µM and 200µM for LDH-A and LDH-B, respectively[1]. Galloflavin induces the deacetylation of Sirtuin 6 and activates the activity of Sirtuin 6, with an EC50 value is 79µM[2]. Ascomycin inhibits the enzymatic activity of LDH-A by occupying the NADH site, prevents the binding of LDH-A to single-stranded DNA, and impairs RNA synthesis in cultured cells[3]. Galloflavin has been widely used in tumor research to inhibit lactate production and to suppress the growth of cancer cells[4].
In vitro, Galloflavin treatment for 72 hours markedly suppressed the proliferation of ECC-1 and Ishikawa cells, with IC50 values of 25µM and 43µM, respectively[5]. Treatment with 150µM Galloflavin for24 hours significantly reduced the viability of MCF-7 cells, decreased ATP production, and down-regulated the expression of ERα mRNA[6]. The 6-hour pre-treatment with 16µM Galloflavin inhibited the glycolytic activity in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by 200ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and reduced the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, iNOS, and CD86[7].
In vivo, Galloflavin treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 80mg/kg/day dose for 5 days alleviated liver injury in the acute liver failure mouse model and increased survival rate[8]. Intraperitoneal injection of Galloflavin at a dose of 15mg/kg/day daily for 15 consecutive days inhibited tumor growth and reduced the expression of NLRP3, c-Myc, and P21 within tumors in the SW480 xenograft mouse model[9].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
MCF-7 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
MCF-7 cells were cultured in DMEM medium, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100U/ml penicillin, 100μg/ml streptomycin, 2mM glutamine, and 1mM sodium pyruvate at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2. Cells (1×104/well) were seeded in 96-well plates, allowed to adhere overnight, and treated for 24h at 37°C with different concentrations of Galloflavin (0, 5, 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 150µM), the cell proliferation was tested. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0, 5, 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 150µM; 24h |
|
Applications |
Galloflavin treatment reduced cell proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Nude mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Nude mice (5 weeks old; 19-23g) were housed in SPF conditions with an automatic 12h/12h light-dark cycle at a constant temperature (21±1°C). SW480 cells were cultured to the logarithmic phase and digested, followed by the adjustment of cell concentration to 3×107/ml. Afterward, 0.2ml cell suspension (6×106 cells) was injected into the right hind limb after disinfection. Nodules appeared at the injection site within 3-4 days. Mice were subsequently divided into control and Galloflavin groups. Mice in the Galloflavin group were administered 15mg/kg Galloflavin (i.p.) once daily. Mice were kept for 15 days and sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, followed by tumor resection and measurement of tumor volume. |

Dosage form |
