CAY10404

CAY10404 is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of COX-2 and COX-1. It is also a potent inhibitor of PKB/Akt and MAPK signalling pathways and induces apoptosis in NSCLC cells, with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities.Treatment with CAY10404 in the range of 10-100 microM caused dose-dependent growth inhibition, with an average 50% inhibitory concentration (IC (50) ) of 60-100 micromol/L, depending on the cell line. Western blot analysis of CAY10404-treated cells showed cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and procaspase-3, signifying caspase activity and apoptotic cell death. CAY10404 treatment inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt, glycogen synthase kinase-3beta and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 in H460 and H358 cells.
