Application

Brusatol has been used to study the protective role of Nrf2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 ) in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion induced injury.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brusatol (Brutasol) is a plant-derived natural quassinoid that exhibits broad cytotoxicity in cancer cultures (IC50 <1 μM against 457 cancer cell lines) by inhibiting de novo synthesis of cellular proteins (Effective conc. <50 nM in A549 cells), including NRF2.
Brusatol (Brutasol) is a plant-derived natural quassinoid that exhibits broad cytotoxicity.
Brusatol promotes Nrf2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 ) ubiquitination and degradation. Brusatol upregulates the expression of multiple ribosomal components and controls macromolecular complex function.

The KEAP1/Nrf2 pathway senses and responds to changes in intracellular oxidative stress. Mutations that result in constitutive activation of Nrf2 are present in several human tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, compounds that inhibit Nrf2 activity might be beneficial
