Destruxin B, a cyclic hexadepsipeptide mycotoxin, has been reported to have insecticidal and phytotoxic activity and can also induce apoptosis.
Mycotoxins has been identified as a class of toxic secondary metabolites produced by organisms of the fungus kingdom and are able to cause disease and death in both humans and animals.
In vitro: The results of a previous study showed that destruxin B exhibited selective and significant time- and dose-dependent inhibitory effects on the viabilities of GNM and TSCCa cells but not on GF cells. These findings indicated that destruxin B was able to induce tumor specific growth inhibition in cancer cells through Bax/Bcl-2-mediated intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in both time- and dose-dependent manners [1].
In vivo: Animal study found that the daily subcutaneously administered destruxin B at 0.6-15 mg/kg was safe and effective in inhibiting the growth of CRC cells. In addition, the expression of cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, Bax, as well as active caspase-3 were observed with destruxin B treatment. Moreover, the increase in tumor volumes of destruxin B treated groups were significantly lower than those of the mock-treated group [2].
Clinical trial: So far, no clinical study has been conducted.
