Kahalalide F
Kahalalide F is a novel marine-derived antitumor agent known for inhibiting DNA synthesis. It exhibits cytotoxicity that is not correlated with the expression levels of the multidrug resistance gene MDR1 or the tyrosine kinase HER2/NEU, and is only slightly related to the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2. Kahalalide F hinders the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway by depleting ErbB3. Its effects are rapidly activated with short pulse treatments. The compound primarily induces cell death through oncosis (cellular swelling) in tumor cells. Kahalalide F can be utilized in studies of prostate cancer, breast cancer, vulvar cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer.
