1393-48-2 Usage
Description
THIOSTREPTON is a macrocyclic antibiotic that contains thiazoles and other atypical amino acids. It was patented in 1961 and is derived from Streptomyces. THIOSTREPTON acts as a protein synthesis-inhibiting agent by binding to ribosomes, preventing the binding of the EF-G elongation factor and GTP to the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is also an inducer of the tipA gene, which controls bacterial transcription regulators involved in multidrug resistance. THIOSTREPTON is closely related to siomycin, an inhibitor of the oncogenic transcription factor FoxM1. It is a thiazole-containing peptide antibiotic that inhibits the function of elongation factor G (EF-G) and the dissociation of EF-G from the ribosome. The thiostrepton-resistant gene is commonly used as a selective marker for recombinant DNA/plasmid technologies. THIOSTREPTON is also a natural peptide thiazole antibiotic that inhibits FoxM1 in mammalian cells, preventing the expression of FoxM1-regulated genes and inducing apoptosis in human cancer cells. It is an off-white solid.
Uses
1. Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
THIOSTREPTON is used as an antibiotic for its ability to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by preventing the binding of EF-G and GTP to the 50S ribosomal subunit.
2. Used in Genetic Engineering:
THIOSTREPTON is used as a selective marker for recombinant DNA/plasmid technologies due to the presence of the thiostrepton-resistant gene.
3. Used in Anticancer Applications:
THIOSTREPTON is used as an anticancer agent, particularly for its ability to inhibit the oncogenic transcription factor FoxM1, preventing the expression of FoxM1-regulated genes and inducing apoptosis in human cancer cells.
4. Used in Research and Development:
THIOSTREPTON is used as a tool in the study of protein synthesis, ribosome function, and the development of new antibiotics and anticancer drugs.
5. Used in Drug Resistance Studies:
THIOSTREPTON is used to investigate the role of the tipA gene and its control over bacterial transcription regulators in multidrug resistance.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Primary TargetEF-G
in vitro
thiostrepton inhibits the transcriptional activity and foxm1 expression, and induces strong apoptosis in human cancer cells of different origin that correlates with suppression of foxm1, including leukemia, neuroblastoma, liver cancer, melanoma and prostate cancer cells. thiostrepton binds foxm1 on the promoter site to inhibit transcriptional activity of foxm1 through the foxm1 autoregulation mechanism [1].
in vivo
thiostrepton suppressed tumor growth in a human breast cancer xenograft model. treatment with developed micelle-thiostrepton nanoparticles decreased xenograft tumor growth induced by the human mda-mb-231 breast and hepg2 liver cancer cell lines. these apoptosis activities in drug-treated tumors were correlated with in vivo suppression of oncogenic foxm1 [1].

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 1393-48-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,3,9 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1393-48:
(6*1)+(5*3)+(4*9)+(3*3)+(2*4)+(1*8)=82
82 % 10 = 2
So 1393-48-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
