Sceptrin, a Marine Natural Compound, Inhibits Cell Motility in a Variety of Cancer Cell Lines
23 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Sceptrin, a natural compound produced by various marine sponges, was tested for its effect on cell motility. We report for the first time that sceptrin inhibits cell motility in several cancer cell lines. The compound shows no toxicity at concentrations that are double the amount of sceptrin required for maximal inhibitory effect. Both random and factor-induced migration were impaired, suggesting that sceptrin...
