| Description | Honokiol is the active principle of magnolia extract that inhibits Akt-phosphorylation and promotes ERK1/2 phosphorylation. This compound causes G0/G1 phase arrest, induces apoptosis, and autophagy via the ROS/ERK1/2 signaling pathway. It inhibits hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Phase 3. | ||

| In vitro | Honokiol shows pro-apoptotic effects in melanoma, sarcoma, myeloma, leukemia, bladder, lung, prostate, oral squamous cell carcinoma and colon cancer cell lines. This compound is effective on inducing apoptosis in SVR angiosarcoma cells. Treatment of SVR cells with this chemical causes decreased phosphorylation of MAP kinase, akt, and c-src. In addition, it potentiates TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, and its cytotoxicity is partially abrogated by neutralizing antibodies to TRAIL. This compound also has direct antiangiogenic activity, in that it blocks the phosphorylation and rac activation due to VEGF-VEGFR2 interactions. [1] It causes apoptosis in CLL cells through activation of caspase 8, followed by caspase 9 and 3 activation. This chemical prevents interleukin-4-mediated survival of CLL cells, and potentiats the cytotoxicity of CB-1348, FaraA, and 2-CdA. [3] It kills myeloma cells from relapsed patients at doses that does not kill PBMCs. Caspase 3, 7, 8, and 9 are induced by this compound treatment, as well as PARP cleavage. [2] It is found to induce apoptosis in the colon cancer cell lines RKO. [4] This chemical potentiates apoptosis, suppresses osteoclastogenesis, and inhibits invasion through modulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation pathway. [5] It may act as a potent anti-inflammatory agent with multipotential activities due to an inhibitory effect on the PI3K/Akt pathway. [6] |

| In vivo | Honokiol is highly effective against SVR angiosarcoma in nude mice. [1] This compound inhibits the growth of RKO cells in murine xenografts. [4] It prevents the growth of MDA-MD-231 breast cancer cells in murine xenografts. [7] |
