Bufotaline
Catalog No: CFN98545
Bufotalin is a cardiotoxic bufanolide steroid, cardiac glycoside analogue. Bufotalin has anti-cancer activity, it can induce apoptosis in Hep 3B cells, and caspase-8 inhibitor (Z-IETD) or wide-ranging caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD) significantly suppresses the bufotalin-induced apoptosis. Bufotalin is a powerful sensitizer of death receptor-induced apoptosis in cancer cells, it promotes death receptor-mediated cell death, especially TRAIL-induced apoptosis, through activation of caspase-3 and PARP-1.
