Anticancer agent 58 (compound 16) has inhibitory activity against kinds of cancer cell lines, especially in A549 and T24 with IC 50 s of 0.6 μM and 0.7 μM, respectively. Anticancer agent 58 induces apoptosis by activating caspase 3/8/9 activity, and induces an increase of Ca 2+ and ROS in cancer cells. Anticancer agent 58 significantly decreases mitochondrial membrane potential. Anticancer agent 58 can suppress tumor growth in T24 mouse xenograft model.
