Description
InformationGboxin Gboxin is an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation in cancer cells. Gboxin inhibits the activity of F0F1 ATP synthase. It specifically inhibits the growth of primary mouse and human glioblastoma cells but not that of mouse embryonic fibroblasts or neonatal astrocytes.Targetsoxidative phosphorylation ; F0F1 ATP synthaseIn vitroGboxin rapidly and irreversibly compromises GBM oxygen consumption. Reliant on its positive charge, Gboxin associates with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes in a proton gradient dependent manner and inhibits F0F1 ATP synthase activity. Gboxin targets unique features of mitochondrial pH in GBM and other cancer cells, independent of their genetic composition, and exerts its tumor cell specific toxicity in primary culture and in vivo.Cell Research(from reference)Cell lines：HTS, MEF and astrocyte cells Concentrations：0-15 µM Incubation Time：96 h
