Withaferin A is a steroidal lactone generally obtained from Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, commonly known as Ashwagandha[1]. Withaferin A can inhibits NF-κB at a very low concentration in endothelial cells[2] and exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antistress, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anticancer activities[3]. Withaferin A is commonly utilized in cancer research due to its anticancer activities against various cancer cell lines and preclinical cancer models, achieved by modulating the expression and activity of different oncogenic proteins[4].
Withaferin A potently inhibited cell proliferation in human MPM cells, treatment with Withaferin A at 5µM for 72h significantly inhibit cell growth[5]. In MCF-7 cells, treatment with Withaferin A at 2.5µM for 24h can increase in the level of total as well as S15 phosphorylated p53, which has been implicated in apoptosis induction[6].
Withaferin A (4mg/kg; 14d; i.p.) treatment can inhibits Isoproterenol-induced myocardial fibrosis in mice and significantly reduce heart necrosis[7]. Treatment with Withaferin A (4mg/kg; 10d; i.p.) significantly reduced murine solid tumour growth and improved survival rate of tumour bearing mice[8].

Withaferin A是一种甾体内酯,通常从冬虫夏草(Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal)中提取[1]。Withaferin A 在内皮细胞中能以极低浓度抑制NF-κB[2],此外Withaferin A表现出广泛的生物活性,包括抗氧化、抗炎、抗菌、抗应激、心脏保护、神经保护和抗癌活性[3]。Withaferin A 常用于癌症研究,它可以通过调节不同致癌蛋白的表达和活性,对多种癌细胞系和临床前癌症模型具有抗癌活性[4]。
Withaferin A 在人类MPM细胞中强效抑制细胞增殖,使用5µM Withaferin A处理72小时可显著抑制细胞生长[5]。在MCF-7细胞中,使用2.5µM Withaferin A处理24小时可增加总p53蛋白及S15位点磷酸化p53蛋白的水平,这与诱导凋亡有关[6]。
使用Withaferin A(4mg/kg;连续14天;腹腔注射)处理可抑制异丙肾上腺素诱导的小鼠心肌纤维化,并显著减少心脏坏死[7]。使用Withaferin A(4mg/kg;连续10天;腹腔注射)处理可显著减少小鼠实体肿瘤生长,并提高肿瘤负荷小鼠的生存率[8]。
