Abstract: 3- and 10-Bromofascaplysins was previously found to possess cytotoxic activity. In this study, we investigated their cancer preventive and proapoptotic properties. These effects were tested on mouse skin epidermal JB6 P(+) Cl41 cell line, its stable transfectants, and human tumor HL-60, THP-1, SNU-C4, SK-MEL-28, DLD-1, MDA-MB-231, and HeLa cells using a variety of assessments, including a cell viability (MTS) assay, flow cytometry, anchorage-independent soft agar assay, luciferase assay, mitochondrial permeability assay, and Western blotting. 3- and 10-Bromofascaplysins were effective at submicromolar concentrations as the anticancer agents, which exerted their action, at least in part, through the induction of caspase-8, -9, -3-dependent apoptosis.
