| In Vitro | waltonitone (10 μM, 25 μM; for 48 hours) results in an increment of sub-G1 population in BEL-7402 cells[1]. Waltonitone (25 μM; for 48 hours) induces BEL-7402 cells apoptosis[1]. Waltonitone (25 μM; for 48 hours) can effectively activate caspase-3 in BEL-7402 cells[1]. |
| In Vivo | Waltonitone (i.v.; 20 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg; once every two days for 16 days) inhibits BEL-7402 tumor growth in male athymic mice (BALB/c nu/nu) in vivo[1]. |
