Bruceine D is a Notch inhibitor with anti-cancer activity and induces apoptosis in several human cancer cells. Bruceine D is an effective botanical insect antifeedant with outstanding systemic properties, causing potent pest growth inhibitory activity[1][2]. Notch[1]
Bruceine D inhibits the cell viability of H460 and A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 0.5 and 0.6?μM, respectively, at 48?h of treatment[1]. Bruceine D (0.125-1.0?μM) dose-dependently promotes chromatin condensation, Annexin V-positive cell population and caspase-dependent apoptosis in H460 and A549 cells[1].
