5,6,11,12,17,18,23,24-Octahydrocyclododeca[1,2-b:4,5-b':7,8-b'':10,11- b''']tetrai ndole (CTet), an indole-3-carbinol (I3C) metabolite endowed with anticancer properties, is poorly soluble in the solvents most frequently used in biological tests. This study indicates that the use of gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) avoids this problem. Formulated with gamma-CD CTet is a potent inhibitor of DNA synthesis in both estrogen receptor positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast cell lines (IC50 = 1.20 +/- 0.04 microM and 1.0 +/- 0.1 microM, respectively).
5,6,11,12,17,18,23,24-八氢环十二碳并[1,2-b:4,5-b':7,8-b'':10,11-b'']四吲哚(CTet)是一种吲哚-3-甲醇(I3C)代谢物,具有抗癌特性,但在生物测试中最常使用的溶剂中的溶解度较差。本研究表明,使用γ-环糊精(γ-CD)可避免此问题。用γ-CD 制成的 CTet 是雌激素受体阳性(MCF-7)和雌激素受体阴性(MDA-MB-231)人乳腺癌细胞系中 DNA 合成的有效抑制剂(IC50 分别为 1.20±0.04 μM 和 1.0±0.1 μM)。
