In vitro and in vivo cancer cell triggered by competitive binding of Cinchona alkaloids
Computational modeling was performed to predict that a series of Cinchona alkaloids can effectively bind to the RING domain of TRAF6, leading to disruption of its native binding with the Ubc13 protein, which is critical for initiating downstream events of AKT and TAK1 activations. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments distinctly demonstrated that these Cinchona alkaloids could induce early apoptosis and…
