Anticancer agent 73 (compound CIB-3b) is a anticancer agent, potently targeting TAR RNA-binding protein 2 (TRBP) and disrupts its interaction with Dicer. Anticancer agent 73 can rebalance the expression profile of oncogenic or tumor-suppressive miRNAs. Anticancer agent 73 suppresses the proliferation and metastasis of HCC in vitro and in vivo[1].
Anticancer agent 73 (compound CIB-3b) (10 μM; 6 hours) increases the expression of E-cadherin and decreases the protein expression levels of fibronectin, N-cadherin, and vimentin in SK-HEP-1 cells; inhibits the proliferation and migration of SK-HEP-1, HCCLM3 and MHCC97L cells by inhibiting miRNA biogenesis[1].
Anticancer agent 73 (10, 25 and 50 mg/kg; IV, every 2 days for 4 weeks) attenuates the proliferation and migration of SK-HEP-1 and SK-HEP-1 implanted in SCID mice[1]
