Chemical Structure
Pheophytin a
- CAS No.: 603-17-8
- Formula:C55H74N4O5
- Molecular Weight:871.20
InChIKey: CQIKWXUXPNUNDV-RCBXBCQGSA-N
SMILES: COC([C@@H]1/C2=C([C@H]([C@@H]3C)CCC(OC/C=C(C)/CCC[C@H](C)CCC[C@H](C)CCCC(C)C)=O)/N=C3/C=C(C(C)=C/4C=C)\NC4=C/C5=N/C(C(CC)=C5C)=C\C6=C(C)C(C1=O)=C2N6)=O
Biological Activity: Pheophytin a is a multi-target inhibitor, anticancer agent, antioxidant and antiviral agent. Pheophytin a directly binds to and inhibits HCV-NS3/4A protease (IC50=0.89 μM) to block viral replication. Pheophytin a also scavenges free radicals, reduces ferric ions, and exhibits cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cells. Pheophytin a effectively inhibits LPS-induced production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, NOS2 and COX-2, as well as various pro-inflammatory cytokines, by downregulating the transcription levels of inflammatory mediators and blocking the ERK1/2 and STAT-1 pathways. In a low nerve growth factor environment, Pheophytin a also enhances ERK1/2 phosphorylation and synergistically promotes neurite outgrowth through MAPK pathway. Pheophytin a can be used to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of diseases including chronic hepatitis C, sepsis, breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease[1][2][3][4][5].
