Description and Uses

Embelin (550-24-3) inhibits?the lysine acetyl transferase PCAF?in vitro and in vivo?(in vitro?IC50=7.2 mM). Inhibits H3K9 acetylation in mouse liver tissue while leaving levels of H3K14, H4K8, H4K12 unchanged.1? Also inhibits X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) (IC50 = 4.1 μM, competing with Smac peptide). Binds to the BIR3 domain, preventing XIAP interaction with caspase-9 and Smac. Induces apoptosis and alters gene expression profiles in breast cancer cells.3?Possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity?in vivo.4?Cell-permeable.

Embelin is a natural benzoquinone found in plants of the Myrsinaceae family. Embelin has a wide range of biological activity as it inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and parasites. Embelin also displays contraceptive and pro-apoptotic properties.
