GRPR antagonist-1 is a potent gastrin releasing peptide receptor ( GRPR ) antagonist, having the cytotoxicity against certain cancer cells ( IC50 of 4.97, 4.36 and 3.40 μM in PC3, Pan02 and HGC-27 cells, respectively). GRPR antagonist-1 inhibits HGC-27 cell viability by decreasing the Bcl-2 level and increasing the Bax level, causing apoptosis, with anticancer activity [1].
In Vitro, GRPR antagonist-1 (compound 5a) (0.032-100?μM; 48 hours) has the cytotoxicity against certain cancer cells, also reduces PC3, Pan02, HGC-27, and HepG2 cell viability combined with HDAC inhibitor (1 μM)[1]. GRPR antagonist-1 (1, 2, 8 μM; 24 hours) increases the rate of late apoptosis/necrosis, inducing apoptosis of HGC-27 cells[1]. GRPR antagonist-1 (0.8, 4 μM; 24 hours) inhibits HGC-27 cell viability by decreasing the Bcl-2 level and increasing the Bax level, causing apoptosis[1].
