8-Acetonyldihydronitidine
8‑Acetonyldihydronitidine is a naturally occurring benzophenanthridine alkaloid with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-proliferative activities against colorectal cancer cells. 8‑Acetonyldihydronitidine inhibits Staphylococcus aureus and exerts a potent antifungal effect against Cladosporium cladosporioides. 8‑Acetonyldihydronitidine activates the p53 signaling pathway, upregulates the expression of target genes including p21, BAX, and FAS, downregulates cyclin A and cyclin B, and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, thereby suppressing the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. 8‑Acetonyldihydronitidine is used in research related to colorectal cancer, fungal infections, and bacterial infections.

In Vitro
8-Acetonyl dihydronitidine (5 µM; 0-48 h) induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in synchronized HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells in a time-dependent manner[1].
8-Acetonyl dihydronitidine (0-8 µM; 24 h) downregulates cyclin A and cyclin B at both the protein and mRNA levels in HCT116 and LOVO human colorectal cancer cells[1].
