Discovery and Identification of Small Molecules as Methuosis Inducers with in Vivo Antitumor Activities

Abstract excerpt

Methuosis is a novel nonapoptotic mode of cell death characterized by vacuole accumulation in the cytoplasm. In this article, we describe a series of azaindole-based compounds that cause vacuolization in MDA-MB-231 cells. The most potent vacuole inducer, compound 13 (compound 13), displayed differential cytotoxicities against a broad panel of cancer cell lines, such as MDA-MB-231, A375, HCT116, and MCF-7, but it...
