Phenoxodiol inhibits proliferation of many cancer cell lines and induces apoptosis by disrupting FLICE-inhibitory protein, FLIP, expression and by caspase-dependent and -independent degradation of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis, XIAP. In addition, phenoxodiol sensitizes drug-resistant tumour cells to anticancer drugs including paclitaxel, carboplatin and gemcitabine.
The antiproliferative effects of phenoxodiol are associated with inhibition of plasma membrane electron transport in tumour cell lines and primary immune cells. Results from one study (PMID: 17904534) indicate that plasma membrane electron transport (PMET) may be a primary target for phenoxodiol in tumour cells and in activated T cells.
UsesAntineoplastic which acts as an antiproliferative, topoisomerase II inhibitor; 5 reductase inhibitor[Note— The trivial name, phenoxodiol, has appeared in literature].
