產(chǎn)品描述：
F16 is a small, cationic, lipophilic, and fluorescent molecule capable of binding preferentially to mitochondrial membranes and disrupts their function. F16 is a potential antitumor agent.

F16 affected growth in some mouse and human breast cancer cell lines. F16 resulted in a dramatic decrease in the number of cells in S phase and an increase in the percentage of cells in G1 phase [1]. Prolonged incubation with 3 μM F16 led to increased cell death of F16-sensitive cells but not of F16-resistant ones. F16 accumulation in mitochondria induced mitochondrial damage characterized by imbalance of volumetric homeostasis, failure to synthesize ATP, cytochrome c release and increased production of reactive oxy gen species [1]. F16 incubation decreased the cellular ATP pool in both parental EpH4-A6 and Bcl-2-overexpressing EpH4-A6.C13 and EpH4-A6.C18 cells in a time-dependent manner [1]. Treatment with F16 promoted early release of cytochrome c in transformed EpH4-A6 cells. Treatment with F16 (0.3-3 μM) resulted in the characteristic apoptotic DNA laddering in the EpH4-A6 cells. F16-Induced mitochondrial dysfunction triggers apoptosis or necrosis. F16 induced necrosis in various cell lines resistant to apoptosis [2].
